Converting dates

I have a range of dates that I have exported into Excel from another system. I need to compare these dates with another to get a period of time.

However, Excel is reading the exported dates as text, not as dates. I have tried doing Format - Cells etc. which has no effect. Can anyone think of a way to convert these to dates or even just to numbers?

Thanks

Tristan

Never mind! Figured it out - DATEVALUE


 

Excel tip:

Switching Between Spreadsheets

As the Alt+Tab key switches between loaded applications or files, Ctrl+Tab switches between loaded or open Excel files. Hold down the Ctrl key until you have tabbed to the correct spreadsheet.
