I want to make them real dates.
I tried these 2 datevalue formulas but I can't make it work.

=DATEVALUE(TEXT(A1,"##/##/####"))
=DATEVALUE(A2)
Highlight the cells
Right click
FORMAT CELLS
NUMBERS tab
In the FORMAT CODE block at the bottom, put
DD/MM/YYYY
No, this won't work. You've got to change the global locale option in
order to change the evaluation context for existing data.
Other method: =DATE(RIGHT(A1,4),MID(A1,4,2),LEFT(A1,2))
Do you have the used date pattern defined? Look at (menu) - Tools -
Language Settings - Languages at "Date acceptance patterns".
