    Can you post an example of "Is" and "Should_be" values?

    To convert a date to its DATEVALUE

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Where A1 contains the original date. This formula would have to be used in a separate cell.

    Hope this helps.

    With
    A1: a date....06/06/1971

    If you change the format of that cell from Date to any of the numeric formats, it's Excel date serial number will display.
    Alternatively, you could do this:
    B1: =A1
    then set the number format to one of the numeric formats (if necessary)

    Does that help?

    Re: How do I convert column of dates into column of date values?

    I have been successful at converting each cell from date to value individually. Since I'm dealing with approximately 2600 entries in a DOB column, I'd like to do it with one function. Format (column) as number and Copy (column)>Paste Special>Value does not give desired result.
