Use Text to Columns Convert Dates Stored as Text 

Have you ever gotten a file and it there was a column that represented a date, but when you tried to perform some calculation with the value in the date column you get some error like a #VALUE? It's most likely due to the fact that the values in that column are text representation of the date (i.e., Monday February 19 2018 6:28 PM). Excel will recognized this as text and one indication is to see if it is left aligned to the cell (values/numbers are right aligned to the cell). If you wanted to do date calculation you'd need to convert the date text into a "proper" date value. This video shows how to use the Text to Columns feature to do that so check it out!
