IS there a formula to get the date from a string like that: "wedsneday, 14 of june of 2016"??
Thanks
 
Got it work, I'm not from the states, my region is set to another country which uses dd/mm/yyyy. When I changed it to the USA format, your formula worked. Thanks!

Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Give this formula a try...

=0+MID(SUBSTITUTE(LOWER(A1),"of ",""),FIND(" ",A1)+1,99)

This formula returns the date's serial number so you will need to apply the Date Cell Format of your choice to the cell you put it in.

Works like a charm! Thanks!
