Reference a date in a non date column
Hi SS peeps,
I am trying to reference a date in a text column by using the date function but it's not working.
=SUMIFS({Employee 1}, {Employee Date of Sep}, >[Jan 5th]45, {Title}, {Lead Sider})
I've tried using
=SUMIFS({Employee 1}, {Employee Date of Sep}, >Date([Jan 5th]45), {Title}, {Lead Sider})
I'm basically wanting to drag the formula across the row and have the date reference update.
Thanks in advance!

Hey @Kyle Keever
This formula will convert your text string into a usable format. Depending on your global region, you may need to use the semi-colon vs the comma I have shown.
=SUMIFS({Employee 1}, {Employee Date of Sep}, DATE(VALUE(LEFT([Jan 5th]@row, 4)), VALUE(MID([Jan 5th]@row, 6, 2)), VALUE(RIGHT([Jan 5th]@row, 2))), {Title}, {Lead Sider})
Will this work for you?
