Would anybody be able to tell me how I could sort this report by date? The information I am using is in the "Event Information" column. Thank You!

Hey Roy!
Sorting/filtering is being blocked by the one big merged cell in Column A. Once you un-merge, or just delete column A, you can sort to your heart's content!

Hi Gerald
What I need to do is filter/search events by month. The information I have includes other information along with the date. I cant figure out how to filter by date alone. Any ideas?
Thank You!

Roy -
As a mixed text field, I think you will find it difficult to accomplish your queries without some level of manipulation.
Here's a quick method with a helper column you could then sort on:
Insert a column to the right of your Event Info column. Use this (or similar) formula to extract the date info: =IFERROR(LEFT(I2,10)+0,"")
Format the new column as Short Date, and you should be able to search and sort.
This should work based on your current data structure.
If you will be updating/refreshing the sheet frequently, consider using Power Query to capture those steps as a repeatable process.
Your sheet attached with the mods.

Hi Roy
Just like what Jerry said, you will have to delete column A and create a helper column
You can try this formula since your dates are in US format.
=IF(ISNUMBER(LEFT(H2,1)+0),DATE(RIGHT(LEFT(H2,10),4),LEFT(LEFT(H2,10),2),MID(LEFT(H2,10),4,2)),"")
Format it accordingly.
