DATEVALUE

The DATEVALUE function returns a date/time value for a given date string. This function is provided for compatibility with other spreadsheet apps.

DATEVALUE(date-text)

date-text: The date string to be converted or a date/time value. If date-text is not a valid date, an error is returned.

Examples

If cell B1 contains the date/time value 2 Aug 1979 06:30 am and cell C1 contains 16/10/2008 formatted as text:

=DATEVALUE(B1) returns 2 Aug 1979, and is treated as a date value if referenced in other formulas. The value returned is formatted according to the current cell format. A cell formatted as Automatic uses the date format specified in your Language and Region settings (in System Preferences in macOS and in Settings in iOS and iPadOS), or in your Time Zone and Region in iCloud Settings.

=DATEVALUE(C1) returns 16 Oct 2008.

=DATEVALUE("12/29/1979") returns Dec 29, 1979.
