I would need to see it to explain in adequate detail, but essentially Excel cannot recognise the number. It is not in a format recognised by your locale formatting. Text to Columns is a better approach for situations like this, or even the DATE function and give it the three parts using text functions.

Depends on their structure, but sounds like we need to use an examples such as this formula =DATE(LEFT(A2,4),MID(A2,5,2),RIGHT(A2,2)) This formula is used on a date in the yyyymmdd format, so if your is different, a variation of the formula is required.

The Text to Columns Approach should fix this. Or the DATE function can be used along with LEFT, MID and RIGHT to extract each date element. Depending on your region, you may need formatting to present it in the M/D/Y structure.

#VALUE! is an error normally indicating the value is off the wrong type i.e., the data is stored as text and not a number. I can't provide a specific answer outside of the video examples here as it depends on many factors such as region. But we may result to splitting the value before converting it.

It's already a date format.let us say if it has been entered into cell using =" 10-sep-20". U can use copy and paste special to retain value only from the copied cell. And using find replace get rid of = and ". I have now converted it into date which u can check. Or u can check even that with date value function. For further understanding u can onve visit "off to office" and c if it clears ur doubt.

dear all, anyone know about " Thu 5/5/2022 10:26 AM " how to convert to date.

=DATE(LEFT(A2,4),MID(A2,5,2),RIGHT(A2,2))

Instead of using the Value formula just add a zero to the cell value(after periods are replaced with slashes). (Still need to format as date)
