Help with making two DATE cells equal

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
This could be.
08/31/2019 =EOMONTH(TODAY(),-2)

But, this is different
08/31/2019 =TEXT(EOMONTH(TODAY(),-2),"mm/dd/aaaa")


Why do you convert it to text?

Ah yes, I understand now
That was the issue, thank you.

I was using the TEXT function to tidy up the final result but I also confused myself in the process :(
