    Big date anomaly

    Afternoon,

    I have some dates in a spreadsheet and I want to do an =month() to get just the month back for a tidy pivot.
    However - if you open the attached document, excel is not recognising the date. I tested two date columns, both aren't working.
    I tried ensuring my dates are in UK format (dd/mm/yyyy) and also data-text to columns - DMY. Neither have worked.

    I'm stuck!

    Thanks in advance :-)
