    Hi, the problem is your dates are stored as text, rather than date values. Convert them using something like:
    =--A1
    in D1 and copy down, then paste the values over the values in A1.

    I've attached an example.

    Date format is not readable in excel, create one more column and make that date in "mmm dd yy" format.
