    Date Format Not Reading?

    Hi -

    I have a data set in excel exported from a system that has two lists of dates in Jan-01-2017 format. I'm trying to use the =weeknum() formula so I can sort the dates by week, but it's not working, even after changing the cell format to custom. The =weeknum() formula DOES work when I actually type Jan-01-2017, so I'm assuming it has something to do with the cell format.

    Any help would be much appreciated!
