DATEVALUE

DATEVALUE helps you convert text-formatted dates into date serial numbers. It provides the tools you need to enter the function, review its syntax, and troubleshoot common calculation issues, making your work more efficient and helping you accomplish tasks with ease. With DATEVALUE, you can insert the function through the function dialog, type =DATEVALUE(...) directly in a cell, view the syntax DATEVALUE(date_text), and open detailed help for the function. You can also fix #VALUE! errors by checking parameter types and cleaning extra text or spaces, verify unexpected results by checking references and number formatting, and apply the formula across multiple cells with fill or copy and paste while managing relative and absolute references.
