If you format the cell where the date is entered as 'number' then this gives
a unique number. However I suspect what you need is not so simple and
therefore requires fuller explanation please.

See help on DATEVALUE function.

=DATEVALUE("2/20/2010") or "20/2/2010" depending upon Regional settings
for date entry.
