    The DateValue formula converts text dates to true dates. Your values in Column A are already formatted as Dates. What are you trying to do in column B. Suggest you explain what you want and not what isn't working for you. We need more information.

    Re: The DATEVALUE Function Does Not Work Well

    I want to change all cells to the same date format . As you can see, some formats are in English (UK) and some formats in English (US). The cells with the English (US) format are convertible to the value, while English (UK) formats are not convertible to the value. I think that the best way is to convert all text to a value. But it does not work.

    Thanks. But I use Excel 2010. There is not this module in Microsoft Excel 2010.
    Function of =VALUE(A2) does not work.
