DATEVALUE gives #VALUE! error
Was the text imported into Excel?
Copying your data, I got the same error as the text string for DATEVALUE had
an extra character [non-viewable] on the end.
using this formula, I got the date returned:
=DATEVALUE((TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(160)," "),FIND("-",A1)+3,11))))
This suggests are are "hidden" ("char(160)") characters in the string which
the formula substitutes with blank and hence TRIM works.

I have in cell A25 the text "- 6/19/2007 6:22:12 PM". The formula
=DATEVALUE((TRIM(MID(A25,FIND("-",A25)+3,11))))
is giving me a #VALUE! error.
How can I get it to return the correct date?
