I am trying to compare the difference between to dates (a person dob and the date of an activity they have carried out and then output the age of the person when this activity was done:
for example:
activity date: 08/01/2008
dob: 05/12/2007
look at the attached file - it was a CSV file. i want to convert the column of dates to say Mar 14 2009 type date. but it only converts some of them.
note some are on the left and some on the right.
I am in strange situation where I have a data with Invoice Dates. These dates are in Text. However, when I convert it into reall excel dates. For some reason the dates do not come right. convert my text dates into excel real dates. I did a lot of google search and apply these three methods but all of these gave me strange result I was not expecting. These are the methods I used and the result of each method.
Method 1 : Using Text to Column Wizard (Excel 2007)
I highlighted invoice column and went into text to column wizard. I clikced on Date button, and selected MDY format. Strangely enough, my result was day, month and year i.e. DMY which does not seem right.
Then I press Control ~ on this data as shown in second view.

2nd Method - Using formula to convert text date to real dates When I used formula, I get the following result. As you can see, formula is converting text dates into different system dates than the first method.Further strange things is when I take these system dates i.e. 4283 and in 2007 excel format use "Short Date" the same system date gets converted into wrong year as shown in the second view.

Similarly, I tried other methods or copying blanks etch but none seems to convert text dates into real (system dates).
Basically I have 2 columns each with a list of dates in no particular order (and containing blank cells too), one planned date column and one actual date column.
What I need to do is plot this on a graph, and since the number of dates has no set limit and I dont want to have to plot maybe 100 dates on the x axis, so i want to group them by week before plotting them, i.e. 10 dates for week ending 10th jan, 25 dates for week ending 17th jan etc
I have a pivot table that counts how many of each date occurs, i.e. 10 x 2nd jan, 7x 3rd jan etc etc but it does not split them into weeks.
im sure theres an easyish way of doing it so i can get the 2 lines on the graph for no. of planned dates each week and no. of actual dates each week, i just cant see it.
I get a spreadsheet every day that has a column of numbers that contains dates that are not in a date format. Is there a way to convert these numbers to a date format? The numbers come from an outside source so I can't modify on the front end. look at the attached spreadsheet with representative data of what I'm trying to ccomplish.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a very large spreadsheet that comes out of SAP and it brings out the majority of cell entries as text ie putting a ' at the begining of any number. the problem that i have is with the cells that have a date in them ie '19/04/07. I have tried varioous methods to remove this and turn the cells into date format but to no avail.
Also i do not get the option to convert text to number
I import data from my works server and dates are represented in text. example text format is yyyymmdd/19790310. What I'm trying to do is add and subtract from this date. I was trying to utilize formula and havent got close. I have a couple of parameters:
In column L I would like to represent the following
if column "B" is "A" add 38 years to column "J" dates are represented as TEXT
if column "B" is "B" add 35 years to column "J" "
if column "B" is "C" add 30 years to column "J" "
if column "B" is "d" add 30 years to column "J" "
Column "M" I would like to find the difference in column "L" and "C" I know days will be difficult it can be represented in years and months only.
I have no preference on whether I use VBA or a formula but have failed on on formula and was attempting to use VBA Case method but no success. I have 10000 rows of information and am open to any ideas attached an example of my data.
I have a long column of dates YYYYmmdd and I need to be able to convert them to mm/dd/yy so that I can see (for example) 09/18/72 instead of 19720918
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have two columns containing dates (Date1 and Date2). Date1 is like a long date and Date 2 is a short date. I need a macro to compare these two dates and delete rows where Date1 <> Date2. Please find attached the before and after file which also contains the date formats for these two dates.

In Workbook1 I have a list of users with a leave start date in column N and a leave end date in column O.
In Workbook2 some of these of users appear with a payment start date in column C and a payment end date in column D.
I need to find out if the any or all of the payment period for these users in Workbook2 falls within the date ranges of their leave in Workbook1. If not, I need to ignore (or delete) the payment record in Workbook2 for that user.
Is this possible using VBA? Mind you, I'm stuck either way as I simply have no idea about how to approach this (possibly ... would first need to work out how to identify if the dates cross and then perform a lookup ...?)
I have two columns (G&H), one has expected date, and one has actual delivery date. The line amounts vary from 2500 to 8000, I need to calculate if column H is greater than column G for each line, if it is not then that line can be deleted.

Any clue how to bring these dates in a VBA readable format?
I am trying to figure out how to compare two sets of dates against one another in vba. The data is spread over eight columns. I need to be able to find the smallest date in the first four columns and then compare it to the smallest date in the other four columns, then go to the next smallest and so on.

My Process goes like this: We receive work in the excel sheet and in the column K(Period will be in YYYYMMDD)
First I want macros by which I can change YYYYMMDD TO MMDDYY.
then
It should compare column J and column K.
see the below example.
Period date (column K) Product end date (column L)
Column J column K
20131031 10/31/2013 = If column J & K dates are equal then "No action required"
20131031 7/31/2013 = If column J is higher then column K dates then "Action required"
20130930 11/2/2013 = If column J is lesser then column K dates then "No action required."

I have two enormous lists of dates. How do I automatically compare them to ensure the date on one comes after the date on the other one?
They're formatted as dates. Christmas Day 2000 (UK) did say 25/12/2000, and then when I reformatted it it automatically changed to 25 Dec 2000, and so on.
I've been trying for a few time to make a sub, on VBA, that writes, in a specific column, " " or 1 depending on the date that is inserted. The thing I can't quite do is:
1 - I have a sheet where the different projects of a company are stored (name, starting date, ending date and person responsible) and where new projects can be added from a UserForm
2 - I also have another sheet were costs from the projects are stored (one line with cost 1 from project 1, another with cost 2 also from project 1 and cost 3 from project 2, etc) and where I can also add a new cost with another UserForm (this cost as also a date that is added, to when it happened)
3 - What I need to do is, on the costs' sheet I need to create a sub that in the last column adds me 1 if the date of the cost added is not a date between the starting and ending date of the project that it corresponds.
Currently I am working on a Userform based Macro that reads date and time from user and compares it with the date and time present in a cell in excel sheet(in mm/dd/yy hh:mm format). If the date and time value entered in both places matches then it will fill green colour in the cell.
I tried to convert the date present in excel sheet into a string using Cstr but it is not working. I have attached the code below for your reference.
Dim lr As Long, i As Long
lr = Sheet5.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To lr
If Cells(i, "D") = "FIT" Then
If Left(Sheet5.Cells(i, 14), 1) = "M" Then

I am trying to set up a spreadsheet to track certification expiration dates and things of that nature at my volunteer fire department. At my career job, we use specialty software like Firehouse, but that is way too expensive so I must settle for Excel..or maybe Access.
Basically, I need a formula that will look at todays date and compare it to the date in a given cell and then somehow differentiate thise which are expiring at a given intercal.
For example, if someones EMT was expiring in 6 months it would turn yellow, then at 3 months turn blue, then red at 1 month then black if it expires.
It don't necessarily have to be just like that, just some way to differentiate depending on the how close to expiration it is.
I need to compare dates from two workbooks. The dates are not entered in the same format. In order to compare them I store them in Date variables.
However, some dates entered do not have a standard date format (for example, day is missing) and I get an error when I try to store them in a Date variable.
The solution I thought out (most likely a bad one) was to temporarily re-dim the variable from Date to String when an error occured. The macro would then be able to store the incomplete date and do the comparison.
So, basically, the variable would be dim'ed once as a Date, then possibly dim'ed a second time as a String, and if this occurs, then it would be dim'ed back to a Date once the erroneous date would have been treated as a String.
My problem is that it doesn't appear to work if I use the dim statement because of "duplicate declaration in current scope". Is there a way to re-dim a variable as something else within the same macro?
Battling through a problem, but would like to get some feedback on some failing code.
basicly created a bunch of macros to get 2 columns. One has last months dates, and the other has the new ones.
I want it to check if the date in columnH is greater then columnJ then update (i have vlookups to get this info with offsets). You see if there is no result on columnH it means it does not add a date.
heres the code that i have. The error is that i am using an invalid statement in the case ( i suspect the >=)
I have 2 columns directly next to each other each containing dates.
Example 1:
F2 = 5/23/13
G2 = 5/23/14
Example 2:
F3 = 6/6/13
G3 = 4/11/14
I wanted to do a conditional formatting that would highlight the cell in
column G if the Month/Day doesn't match the Month/Day in column F
Is there a way to do this with Excel only looking at the Day/Month and ignoring the year??
I have several old spreadsheets that contain patient information. Except for names, dates of birth, and dates of surgery there is nothing consistent about them. Not only that, the old spreadsheets were in various stages of compiliation and recompilation when they were abandoned. So now there are multiple duplications of old names added to lists of new names spread across multiple spreadsheets. I have to identify names that are not already in my database and add them.
I have a formula that I found on the internet that I can use to check if a patient’s last name in an old spreadsheet is one that already appears in my main database. In my attached example the formula looks like this:
I am fitting 2 sets of data to match eachother. I want to have as much data as possible but only for the same dates of each dataset.
I have 4 coloumns.
Dataset 1: A is date B is data
Dataset 2: C is date D is data
I want to compare A vs B one row at a time. If they are not similar it should delete and shift up the values in A+B or C+D according to the lowest value (date) of A vs B.
Remember that if the macro just deleted and shifted up it should compare the same (undeleted) value against the new value that just shifted up in the other coloumn.
I have a column of dates (B2:B1500) that I want to compare to a single date (A1).
If the dates in Column B are older than the date in A1 I want to delete the entire row.
I have a columns with dates such as 10/24/2007. The next column has a count of widgets made that day.
I tried creating a column in between the two that would show only the Month and Year. I intended to base a graph on the converted dates and count, to show how many widgets were made a month. But
the graph breaks down the count to the individual days, ignoring the conversion. Is there a way I can create a column that will literally take the date number and leave only a text in its wake? So that when I slect the latter two columns, the graph will only show the months and counts in that month?
I need to convert values in column A that Excel has erroneously formatted as date, to text.
4/9/5281 should be 5281049
(Excel dropped the zero in front of the 4. I need it back.)
14/9/5281 should be 5281149
I have attached a sample of the raw output of some call records from our telephone switch. My problem with the date data is twofold; first of all it outputs it in mm/dd/yyyy format, or so it appears. But when I try to change the format to mmm/ddd/yy Excel always interprets the 2nd pair of digits as the month instead of the first two. For example,the following 2 calls are from Jan 1st and Jan 2nd respectively;
01/01/2010
01/02/2010
but excel always treats the 2nd record as Feb 1st. I have read numerous posts from people with similar problems but I can't get any of their solutions to work with my data.
The second problem is that on the 13 of each month the phone switch suddenly stops putting a leading zero in front of the date making the data totally unreadable to Excel apparently. Again, I read a post of a similar problem but can't get their solution to work. My ultimate goal is to reformat the date data so that it is displayed as; ddd mm/dd and leave out the year entirely. Ex. Fri 02/12 as in today...Friday, Feb 12th. I really don't know if the problem is with the data or me at this point.
I received a solution to a question recently whereby I was instructed to use the text-to columns function to solve a problem I was having with a column of dates.
Convert Dates To Another Format
The solution provided was;
Select Data > Text to Columns > Next > Next > Column Data Format > Date.
The solution works fine when performed manually but if you perform this function while recording a macro, the crucial piece that changes the date output is not captured by the recorder so when you run the macro nothing happens.
To expand on how I recorded it, after starting the text to column dialogue and pressing Next twice, the dialog provides me with a drop down selector where I am able to change the date format from the default DMY to the desired MDY which - when selected manually - fixes my problem. However, when I record a macro while performing this action the date format choice I made is not being recorded in the macro output so when I try running the macro later on the original data, nothing happens.
The recorded macro ends up looking like this; ....
