How did you combine the month and year?

Did you Concatenate them?

Sounds like these are now treated as text.

Try DataText to ColumnsNextNextColumn Data FormatDateMDY and Finish.

I have this Excel spreadsheet, I took the year from one column, and the month
from another column and put it in one column together, it looks like AUG
1989, but when i try to sort by Date it doesn't. I'm sure the format is
incorrect.
