It can be presented in an order that makes more sense for a dedicated task. To keep with this statement, you can sort by date, by text, by number, and even in ascending or descending order. All of these sorting mechanisms have been implemented for your ease in Google Sheets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Working_with_dates_in_Google_Sheets\"><\/span>Working with dates in Google Sheets&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For humans, keeping notes of their days and time is extremely crucial. Undoubtedly, making dates is a critical measurement of when a task-related entry was made or updated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same has been managed well by Google sheets. This product uses the 1900 calendar date system and has numerous inbuilt functions to handle it. It even has a date function created wherein you can specify the month, date and year for any occurrence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wondering why we mentioned this? Because dates are crucial and can only be read in a dedicated format In Google sheets. But for the world we know, there are several formats to present it. So the creator came up with a function to ease the readability and store the dates in a single decided format.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surprisingly, Google sheets relies on this method and decides if a particular date is valid or not. Although, it takes other steps as well, such as keeping them right-aligned and enhancing readability. But certainly, that was not enough. So, next time you come across the dilemma on how to validate the date format, simply refer to the function below:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DATEVALUE(), ISDATE()<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_sort_data_by_date\"><\/span>How to sort data by date?&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that sorting and date function is well acknowledged, let&#8217;s find out how to work with the two simultaneously.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_1_using_the_sort_range_method\"><\/span>Method 1: using the sort range method&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 1: Create a Google sheet and populate it with relevant data.

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While working with sheets is quite easy, several issues have been encountered in the past. Here\u2019s a brief summary of the common ones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Google_sheets_show_the_date_as_VALUE_Error\"><\/span>1. Google sheets show the date as #VALUE! Error.&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While this is a valid error thrown by the tool, it also has a valid reason behind it. So, a date column is expecting a combination of date, month and year. In case you&#8217;ve provided any value that does not fit with the required data, Google sheets will not be able to read it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There can be various invalid inputs, such as you might have entered a special character or a function by or pure text where the cell is expecting none of these. And you can face this error value instead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Correct_data_is_provided_but_Google_sheet_is_not_reading_the_date\"><\/span>2. Correct data is provided, but Google sheet is not reading the date&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have provided all the 3 fields correctly then it is most likely that you have used an incorrect indentation. By default, Google sheets keep the dates right aligned and text aligned to the left. While this may not seem much of a concern, these configurations are valued the most by such advanced tools.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Date_vs_DateValue_which_function_to_use_in_Google_sheets\"><\/span>3. Date vs DateValue which function to use in Google sheets&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we have already discussed the date function, let\u2019s learn about the DATEVALUE. This function is actually the interpreter for Google sheets to read and process the date. Data similar to 29th March 2022 is appealing to the human eye, but for this tool, it is merely a set of numbers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google sheet utilizes the DATEVALUE method to understand these dates and apply your request, such as sorting them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_brief_Introduction_About_EasyInsights\"><\/span>A brief Introduction About EasyInsights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a marketer you may need to sync data from various ad platforms, CRMs, CEPs, web and analytics platforms to create granular audiences and optimise Google and Meta Ads algorithms. Investing countless hours each day to collect and maintain data in a Postgres database is a tedious and time-consuming task that results in unnoticeable errors.\u00a0<strong>Logging in to multiple platforms and exporting, transforming, and uploading data to BI tools consumes more than 40% of marketers\u2019 time.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where a tool like EasyInsights can help! EasyInsights\u2019 allows you to fully automate and secure data syncs from any source without having to rewrite the code. It allows you to not only sync data but also filter, segment and enrich it so that it is ready for powering marketing campaigns. This is how it works<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_EasyInsights_can_help_you_work_better_with_Ad_Platforms\"><\/span>How EasyInsights can help you
