[TD]In S1 I manually type some word (eg ASN 20.07.17 or Manually 21.07.17.PO line).
[TABLE="width: 487"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]In T1 I have a formula which will take the date from S1. if there is word "manually". e.g in T1 shows 20.07.17 IF(IFERROR(SEARCH("Manually",S1,1),0)=1, MID(S11,FIND(" ",S1,1),9), "")

[TD]In U1 I have a formula which will take the date from S1 . if there is word"ASN" e.g ASN U1 shows 21.07.17
[TABLE="width: 487"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Now in V1 I want a formula which can calculate the different between S1 and U1. I have formula in S1 and U1,so when I use the date formula it shows #VALUE !.

Your last post makes no sense.

Now in V1 I want a formula which can calculate the different between S1 and U1.

S1 doesn't contain a date - it contains a string.

I have formula in S1

You said at the start of your post "In S1 I manually type some word (eg ASN 20.07.17 or Manually 21.07.17.PO line)".

The problem is that the formula you posted is returning a string instead of a date.
Try revising that formula to get it to return a date:
=IF(IFERROR(SEARCH("Manually",S1,1),0), DATEVALUE(SUBSTITUTE(MID(S1,FIND(" ",S1,1)+1,8),".","/")), "")
