Convert Tex to date with Data uploader

Good Afternoon,

We are currently using Data Uploader to automatically move date into Smartsheet. In a few of our sheets the Date is the only unique identifier. However, I have found that using a date column to import does not work as it doubles the entries. If I upload the dates as plain text I have no issues. I have converted a many texts into dates in my time but this one seems to be alluding me. The current date comes into smart sheet as follows: 02/01/19. I am able to get it to read as a date but it will not filter nor report properly as a date. Does someone have a formula that may work to convert this to an actual date?

 

Thanks in Advance!!
