datevalue and cdate both use your regional settings for converting date strings-do your regional settings specify the date format you have in the cells?
Josie
if at first you don't succeed try doing it the way your wife told you to
Probably c.Value is already a date.

If you think design is an expensive waste of time, try doing without ...
They do match my regional settings and the date does look like a date but whenever I try to filter it doesnt give it as a month etc., as it can only see it as a text date & changing the cell format to date does not change the situation?

JosephP no leading or trailing spaces, Tsjallie, where should I which line should I change?
Please attach a sample workbook.
You will get an error if any cells in column A cannot be converted to a date. For example if the column header is "Date".
Thanks,

I have attached a sample workbook, In the example there is a header line which was no in my test but will be in the finished worksheet.
Solus Rankin is right. The error comes from teh header.
When you use column("A") row 1 is the forst row which contains a header text.
Next row goes fine.
The origina;l worksheet does not have a header and still does not work but in this case how can I get around the header issue?
You can alter your code to skip row 1 line like this:

Why covert a date to a date?
@Tsjalie
Look at workbook OP posted. They're in date format but stored as text.
Why not just select the column, Data > Text to columns, Finish?
