Yes, only applying the format won't convert text to date. How to convert it depend what is your OS default format. As variant you may use Text to Columns - first split on date and time, when to date apply wizard with MDY format on third step, combine date and time back.
If that's your native format you may convert by adding zero, with Paste Special ->Add or by formula
Formula itself is correct if you are on English SKU. In other locale try to use semicolon instead of comma.
Even with correct formula it changes nothing, most probably in column E you have texts, not dates.
SergeiBaklan semicolon worked, thank you so much:)
now the new issue -> instead of year it shows YYYY, do you know maybe how to fix that?
