How do you convert a range of dates in this format: 39843 (i.e today 30th of Jan 2009). To text like: 20080130. Secondly, For the same date, how do you make the weeknum function give answer '05' and not just '5'

I have a old spreadsheet file which I opened up in Excel 2003. It has a few worksheet tabs. 2 worksheet tabs seem identical. I will reference it as Worksheet1 and Worksheet2. In Worksheet1, I enter a date i.e. 1/25/2008 in any cell. It enters as inputted. But in Worksheet2, I enter the same date i.e. 1/25/2008, it appears as 1/0/1900. No matter what date I enter in Worksheet2 in any cell, it always appears as 1/0/1900. Now when I look at cell in the formula toolbar, it sees as a Math Formula meaning, it looks like this: =1/25/2008. How do I correct this Worksheet to recognize any date inputted, not to see it as a Math Formula?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am working with an Excel file that was created in 2001, has not been updated since.
In the first column on the first tab, is a date field, starting from 12/31/2000.
I try to change this to 12/31/2008, and I get the return date of 01/00/00. When I select the cell, the formula bar indicates 12/31/2008, but the cell shows 01/00/00.
If I change it back to 12/31/2000, it is back to normal. I tried to enter 2/3/2009 in another cell, converting to date format, and the same thing: 0/1/00 (Jan 0, 1900)
This is a US date format.
I currently have to display a large amount of data on a separate report. I have a master sheet which has columns and cells linked to another sheet, then a further sheet which has cells linked to the master sheet. The problem I am getting is when I link some of the date columns using a formula in the 3rd sheet, as this is looking at a cell that has another formula in on the other sheet it is displaying a date of 00/01/1900 if the value is zero, is there any easier way of getting the data to just display a blank as this is messing up the database it is being exported
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe result of my formula should be blank, but 1/1/1900 appears instead and I can't get rid of it. Does anyone know why or how to fix. I can't just change the font color as it screws up other formulas.
=IF(ISNA((VLOOKUP(VendorTracking!$P10,LeadTimeVlookup,2,FALSE))),"",VLOOKUP(VendorTracking!$P10,LeadTimeVlookup,2,FALSE))
In this case the Vlookup is referring to an apparently blank cell with no formula in it. I googled 1/0/1900 and saw a few references that said formatting a cell with zero in it as a date would cause this result, but there is no zero in this case.
I am trying to reference a cell on another worksheet, the cell is formatted to be a date. when i put in the following formula =Sheet2!A1 and i don't input a date into A1 on sheet 2 the cell containing the formula shows the date 00/01/1900, is there any way of stopping this showing, ideally the cell would be blank until I inputted a date into A1 on sheet 2
I have a column of data that requires the cell to be blank if the value is 00/01/1900. The data is linked to another cell. IE: cell E3 is linked to cell $D$3 The cell is formatted for dates in the format shown.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have few dates in column C. My Column B is blank. I want to convert all text in column C in proper date format in Column B.

I am trying to convert text in a cell from: 03/08/2014 2330 to a date that looks like this: 03/08/2014 23:30. Then I also need to extract just the time only and put that in a new cell.
I can do it in a few steps by using Data -> Text To Columns, formatting the date and time separately, and then putting them back together again.
Is there a 1-step way to do the original text to date/time conversion?
Three columns.
A - Date last checked
B - Due Date
C - Actual Date checked
Currently column B is formatted to Date and simply has =A+84 and will display a date 3 months in future. However if there is no date in column A, then column B displays a default 1900 date.. Is there a way of making this blank if there is no date in col A?
I have column A set up to display dates in the following format: 03/04/2009. While the "look" is fine for the values in the column, I cannot get it to stay in that format when it is moved to a text file. It simply converts the display back to 39876.
I would like a macro that 1) looks at all values in column A and 2) converts each cell in the column to text format but leaves the contents so they are dates 03/04/2009 (mm,dd,yyyy).
i have the text as string data in column A and it is just a text not date format. i want to convert this using formula text function to get result shown in column B and C. is this doable?

i'm trying to convert a column (P) from date dd-mmm-yy, subtract 5 days, and paste value as YYMM using a macro. I've borrowed bits from other macros and producted this but it's not working (and i've played around with it to the point it doesn't make sense anymore!)
Option Explicit
Sub ADD_REPORT_DATE()
Dim LR As Long, i As Long
Dim tempValue1
Dim tempValue2 As Date
Worksheets("Report").Select
LR = Range("P" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = LR To 1 Step -1
Set ActiveCell.Value = Text(ActiveCell.Value - 5, "YYMM")
Next i

I'm copying data from another source to excel, and for certain date entries they come as text in the following format "On 14 May at 8:00". Is there anyway to convert multiple entries like this into a standard date format? With or without time is fine - just the date will do.

I import data from a program that exports dates and times as text. I have been successful using "text to columns" to separate the time from the date and then using =text(A1,"00:00")+0 to get the time to show as serial time but I'd love to be able to do the whole date/time string in one step. In cell A1 there is data that is general format and is in this format:
01/01/13 00001
No matter how you try to format it, it is not a date or time. For this project I need the serial number for the date/time. Any formula that will format it as date/time and then allow it to show as a serial date/time?
how can i count the positive days to a inserted date value or the past days (negative value) to the system date (today).

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have the formula where i can change a date to its equivalent in terms of quarters system with a date:
=CHOOSE(MATCH(MONTH(A2),{1,4,7,10}),"Winter","Spring","Summer","Fall")&YEAR(A2)
This is a school year configuration.
ex.
A2 = 10/1/2005: with the formula up there it turns into Fall 2005
i want to be able to add any number of years and the formula will still come up with the quarters system
also i would like A2 to be stationary and create a list of quarters for each year i add on
ex.
A2= 10/1/2005 B2=Fall 2005
B3=Winter 2006
B3=Spring 2006
B5=Summer 2006
B6=Fall 2006
etc.
If this is all possible lastly I would like to negate summer quarters
I have written a few macros, which use date type variables. Because VBA uses the 1900 date system, and some workbooks use the 1904 date system, I have to first check and see if a workbook uses the 1904 date system, and if so, subtract off 1462 days where appropriate. My macros used to check the date system by using the command:
If ( ActiveWorkbook.Date1904 = True) Then
nh_stringToDate = nh_stringToDate - 1462
End If
But, sometimes the macro resides in one workbook (call it macro.xls) but the currently active workbook is some other workbook (something.xls). What I really care about is the date system of macro.xls and NOT something.xls. So, instead of "ActiveWorkbook" is there some other object I can use to refer to the workbook in which the macro itself resides? I don't want to rely on using the name of the macro workbook (macro.xls) because this could change! So I need a way to simply refer to the workbook in which the macro resides.
I have a spreadsheet where we will be inserting the Arabic Hijri date taken from a Customs document (bayan). On my spreadsheet I'd like to have a column immediately next to the Hijri date that would convert the Hijri date to the Gregorian date so both dates will be visible for our Arabic and Western personnel who will be using the spreadsheet.
I am using Microsoft Excel 2010.
