Thanks. The formulas are OK.
The values from A4 down look like dates, but they are text values. Could they have been copied from another source?
To remedy this, select all 'dates' from A4 down.
On the Data tab of the ribbon, click Text to Columns.
Click 'Next > ' twice.
Select Date, and select MDY from the drop down next to it.
Click Finish.
You should now have 'real' dates, and the formulas should work.
