I'm failing to see the merits of

=DATEVALUE(TEXT(TODAY(),"mm/dd/yy"))

This formula is essentially formatting today's date as a
text string, and then converting it back to an actual
date. Please explain.

Thanks.

Just use =Today()
and if you still need a formula then
=DATEVALUE(TEXT(TODAY(),"mm/dd/yy"))

TRYING TO FIND FRMULA FOR DATE VALUE OF CURRENT DATE

=DATEVALUE("12/29/04") WORKS,
BUT =DATEVALUE("TODAY()") DOESN'T

IS THERE A SOLUTION?
