Using VALUE Function to convert Text to Dates or Numbers in Excel

Показать описание

In this tutorial, I introduce you to converting text into numbers and dates in Excel using the VALUE function, the multiply by one trick, and the T function.

I explain how to identify text masquerading as numbers or dates by alignment, the count indication in the Status Bar, and filter options. I demonstrate how to convert text to dates using the VALUE function and how to ensure correct date formatting.

I also show an alternative method using multiplication by one and provide a bonus tip using the T function for distinguishing text from numbers.
