Down loading data I receive dates as a number that indicates YYMMDD (ex. 130603 is 03 JUN 13). Is there an easy way to convert these number strings to the actual date indicated other than typing it in?
View 5 RepliesI've been sent a spreadsheet in which one column represents dates, but they have been entered as plain text, MM/DD/YYYY (ie 12/31/2008). I ultimately need to import this as a CSV into a program that only understands dates in the format DD/MM/YYYY.
I'd ideally like excel to recognise this field as containing dates, but I can't figure out how to do that, or even how to swap the days and months around as text. I'm using 2007.
I have a macro which copies the values from one cell to another. But, while copying the macro changes the date format to a serial number and this doesnot happen all the times. Below is the code I have. I want the macro to automatically convert the date from from serial number to dd/mm/yyyy. I tried quite a different ways, but none of them seems to work. Below is the macro I run to copy the contents from one cell to another.
Sub History()
'
' Macro: Backup results from prior rounds. Please run this macro after selecting the cell where the backup is to be done.

cur_row = ActiveCell.Row
If ActiveCell.Offset(-(cur_row - 10), 0).Value <> "History" Then
MsgBox ("Check whether the active cell is the designated history cell. History operation failed")
Exit Sub
Else
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 & ActiveCell.Offset(0, -5).Value & " "..........................
I was just wondering what is the formula to convert a date serial number back to an actual date?

I have a date in a particular cell, say O5, formatted as mm/dd; e.g. 11/14
I have the following formula in another cell;
=M5 &", Lot# "& N5 &", Expires "& O5, where cell M5 = "CONTROL" and cell N5 = "#####"
Why does the date get converted to a serial number. i.e. CONTROL, Lot# #####, Expires 41592?

I saw the =WEEKNUM function introduced to Dave196. I tried it but I do not get the desired result. I get "# NAME?" What can I be doing wrong? Also, how can I have Excel take a date and convert it to a number? I want to convert a date into an invoice number (eg. 4/5/07 ===> 20070405)
View 2 Replies View RelatedAs the title says I was wanting to convert a date into an alphanumeric number.
After searching around for a long time the closest thread I could find was this one : [URL] ....
I would like to enter the date by dd/mm/yyyy and have it come out to an alphanumeric number.
The alphanumeric number for example would be C21501
Where "C" is the year starting from 2013. So in this case C would be 2015
Next two digits would be the week of that year. So 21 would be in the month of May
The following number would be the day of that week starting from Monday. So in this case 5 would be Friday.
The last two numbers would be the consecutive number for that day. For example two orders could be placed that same day so the first would be C21501 and the next would be C21502.
I have following in cell A1
122211
This represents 22-Dec -2011. Formula to convert the number in to a date format.
The following function reads many worksheets in one workbook and put the information into one worksheet. F22 to Q22 is dates in the format of mmm-yy on the many worksheets. On the one worksheet B1, C1, D1, etc... is dates also formatted mmm-yy. Now the many sheets only have a 12 month period but could be any date within 60 months. In the many worksheets the beginning date in F22 is based on the date that is entered into G8 of the many worksheets. The function is:
Code:
Function HrsByMonth(strField As String, MonthNum As Integer) As Long
Dim sht As Worksheet, i As Long, j As Integer
HrsByMonth = 0

I am trying to convert a number string date that has been stored in a database to a readable date time in an excel pivot table.
1260983366 needs to look like Wednesday, December 16, 2009, 10:09 AM.
The converted date could also look like Wed, Dec 16, 09, 10:09 AM.
Wondering if there is a simple and concise way to convert a date into text that represents the day number?
So a cell containing “17/09/2006” simply reads as “Seventeenth”, 18/09/2006 becomes “Eighteenth” and so on...

I have a spreadsheet that I use to convert a purchase order ship date from the actual date to the corresponding week it falls out on. The fiscal year always starts on February 1 regardless of the day of the week. The problem i am encountering is when the year changes. As soon as I enter 01/01/2010, the response I get is -4, where as 12/31/2009 is 48.
I am using the following formula that I found somewhere, where R2 = 02/01/2009 (02/01/2009 falls out on a Sunday). =INT((R2-DATE(YEAR(R2),2,1)-WEEKDAY(R2,1))/7)+2. I need to make the formula "not care about" the day of the week.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to find a number (1, 2 or 3) and I am looking in two different cells for it. Now, Cell 1 might have the information; Cell 2 might have the information or BOTH Cells A AND B might have the information, or either cell (or both) might have different information. I can't do an IF/OR because I don't know which cell will have it, nor can I do an IF/AND for the same reason. I can't assume that they will both have the information -- so I can't just use a solution that includes a "divided by."
for example:
A
1 2
2 0
or maybe
A
1 3
2 3
or
A
1 4
2 1
If A1 or A2 is > 0, but <4, then that number

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a large database from a central appraisal district. In the database the city is stored as a numerical value. The problem is I need to convert the numerical value for the city to a text string with the actual city name. For example the values to the attached example database are as follow:

View 2 Replies View RelatedI discovered the following Macro (on another site). What I'm attempting to do is make data entry simple by entering a date such as 012209 and have a macro convert the entry to 01/22/09 as a legitimate date field. On entering 012209, the macro displays a value of 09/01/2021 with an actual cell value of 1/9/2021. I expected a value of 01/22/09.
Entering 010109 displays a value of 01/01/2009 with an actual cell value of 1/1/2009. I expected a value of 01/01/09 (I can live with this, just didn't expect a 4 digit year).
I need to count the actual number of days between 2 dates but excluding Sunday...
For example,
Start Date-----End Date-------# of Days
01/Jan/14-----23/Jan/14-------20 days (excluding Sunday)
In some cases, Holiday also to be removed i.e. 01-Jan-2014 is holiday, then the # of days should be 19 days.
If I use Networkdays formula, then system results excluding both Saturday and Sunday. But I want to remove only Sunday.
I inport date into excel and the dates come in APR/13, however excel does not sort or treat the imported dates as actual dates. if I select the cell it will change the data to 13-Apr-2013...however I want it to be the 1st of the month.
Via a formula how can I change the text from APR/13 to 1-Apr-13, so that excel will sort and treat the value as a date?
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?

I have a list of users with the dates they first logged into a system and the date they last logged in. I'm trying to group them together into segments so I can analyse them using a Pivot table and chart to see how often different groups are using the system, e.g. New customers in December, November, October, etc.
The trouble I am having is trying to convert the different human-readable text strings into a consistent number of weeks from today's date, e.g.
USER FIRST LOGGED IN LAST LOGGED IN
user 1 2 years 20 weeks 54 sec ago
user 2 44 min 7 sec 1 min 37 sec ago
user 3 49 weeks 2 days 17 min 3 sec ago
user 4 5 weeks 2 days 33 min 32 sec ago

user 6 5 weeks 3 days 1 hour 7 min ago
user 7 2 hours 17 min 2 hours 11 min ago

I am doing a vlookup on a cell range where the value I'm trying to lookup (a date) exists, but it's not an actual number in the cell...it's a reference to another cell with that value (somewhere completely different).
So, I'm trying to vlookup(date(1/1/2011),A1:A12,2,false) to get the B column value.
A B
1/1/2011 #
2/1/2011 #
...
12/1/2011 #
However, the A column is not the actual date. It is a reference to another cell somewhere completely different that has the actual date 1/1/2011.
When I do a vlookup trying to find 1/1/2011, it can't see it there unless I overwrite the reference in A1 (for instance) with the actual date.
Can I do a vlookup and keep my cell references?
