For what it's worth, DATEVALUE() can certainly cope with that format 
(of text value) for me.  But it won't cope with a genuine date 
formatted in that way, of course.  It sounds as if at least some of 
your dates may really have been dates after all.  There's no 
guarantee that all values in a column are of the same type or format, 
of course.
