I have a column that contains dates from our system that displays in "mmddyyyy" format (i.e., 10121999 or 8121998). How do I convert this to a 10/12/1999, 8/12/1998 formatted column?
View 1 RepliesI'm working with a big dataset and the dates come out in this way:

EDIT: Example of book included
One of the reports I run provides me information on lengths of time. Such a field displays as |0:09:16| indicating 9 minutes and 16 seconds. However, when the report generates the excel spreadsheet it saves these cells in date/time format ([h]:mm:ss). If I were to convert this field to the number format (so I can manipulate and graph it) it displays as such |0.00643460648148148| Ideally I would be able to have the data in the field stored as |556| (556 seconds, or 9 minutes 16 seconds). I have thousands of fields that I need to manipulate where the data is stored in this format and I can not figure out how to fix it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI collect data from a data historian and I'm having difficulty with a date format. The collected data is saved in a txt file and imported to Excel 2007.
The date returned by the historian is the following format

This format is not recongnized by Excel as a date format but as a text box.

I've been having a problem lately with Excel automatically converting all of the cells on my spreadsheet from standard number format to dates. I've created several spreadsheets for calculations and all the cells in the number formats that I wanted. It's been saved and actually reopened and used several times. I opened it this morning and now half of numbers are now converted to dates. I've had this happen several times on several different spreadsheets. Why is this happening? Is there a setting somewhere that I need to change?

I some assistance with converting a date based upon a time in column A. I have a number of dates in column A as follows:
01/13/2009 11:50 AM
01/05/2009 09:14 AM
01/12/2009 05:30 PM
01/12/2009 02:30 PM
01/12/2009 01:45 PM
I need to convert these values to another date base upon the values in column A.
If the time < 2:00 pm then leave date as is, if time > than 2:00 pm then add one day. The expected results in column B would be as follows
01/13/2009
01/05/2009
01/13/2009
01/13/2009
01/12/2009
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).
ANYONE KNOW, OTHER THAN CUT AND PASTE, A METHOD OF "flip flopping" names in a list, from last, first to first last? (maybe "telling"the list to separate into 2 columns the words separated by the comma, last in one column and first in another). I have a list of 360 names and not looking forward to cut and paste this list.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI have a strange issue. I have column "B" has date texts in it ( don't know if it means value) like 21.09.2012. The cells are in text format.
VB:
Sub ReFormatCell()
Range("B:B").Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "dd.mm.yyyy ddd"
With Range("B:B")
.Formula = .Value
End With
I tried ".Value = .Value" or ".Formula = .Value" or Copy paste or offset...... Non of the codes didn't work to make date format as I desired :/
The order is something like:
1. Format column "B" as text.
2. Offset text value 21.09.2012 to B.
3. Reformat cell as date
4......?!?!
What should I change to display "21.09.2012" as "21.09.2012 Wed" in B:B range?
On the attached example i have a list of fractions (in the format ?/???). However, i have a problem when the fraction is 6/4 or 4/6 as excel rounds the nominator and de-nominator down to the lowest value so these fractions become 3/2 and 2/3. For these two fractions only i don't want this rounding down to happen.
I am open to any suggestions, but i was thinking of some vba where on pressing a button it would run a macro that went through the cells in the column and if the cell value is 1.5 (3/2) then format the cell as text and enter the value"6/4". For the 2/3 fraction, i think you may need to say if the cell is greater than 0.66 and less than 0.67 because this would possibly be harder to exact as the number of decimal places involved.

I found this board with a question for a column change to a specific date-format. This is normally very easy but in this case not for me.
The dates that are in the colums are in different shape!
Here are some examples:
21-Jun-07 16:00 A ( where the A is set by another program )
20-6-2007 11:00
18-Jun-07 08:00* ( where the * is set by another program )
The format I want is:
21-Jun-07 ( nothing more / nothing less )
how can i get a cells date into a message box string? i have been trying to get this to work
Dim Date As String
Date = Sheet16.Range("a1").Value
MsgBox "Today is the & Date ", vbOKOnly
I have a cell E1 that is actually a vlookup and returns a date. I had to custom format the cell so the value returned looks like "June 2007" instead of "39827". I am running a macro and I need a messagebox to tell the user that they are creating an email for June 2007 (which is really the variable cell E1). Problem is the message gives the date as '6/4/2007' instead of 'June 2007'. I tried using the text() function to format the cell as "mmmm yyyy" but I get a type mismatch error. Below is the code I wrote. The first way shows successful but the date as numeric. The second gives me the type mismatch error: First way:
a = Range("e1").Value
Msg3 = "You are about to create an email for " & a & ". Are you sure?" 'Define msg
Style = vbYesNo + vbQuestion + vbDefaultButton2 ' Define buttons.
Title3 = "Create new file" ' Define title.
Response3 = MsgBox(Msg3, Style, Title3)
If Response3 = vbYes Then ' User chose Yes.
'create email
Second way (mismatch error): a = text(Range("e1").Value, "mmmm yyyy") Msg3 = "You are about to create an email for " & a & ". Are you sure?" ' Define message.
Style = vbYesNo + vbQuestion + vbDefaultButton2 ' Define buttons.
Title3 = "Create new file" ' Define title.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get a single cell to display the following:
Last Updated: 3/18/2008 15:08 (GMT+2)
Entering =NOW() in a cell displays the date and time as required.
But entering ="Last Updated: "&NOW()&" (GMT+2)" displays the date and time as a serial number. Formatting the cell to Date does not change the serial number to date and time format.
The only way I have found to get the desired result is to use =NOW() in another cell (F13), format that cell to general to get the date/time serial number, then use ="Last Updated: "&TEXT(F13,"m/d/yyyy h:mm ")&" (GMT+2)" in the required destination cell.
As I said this works, but it strikes me as an inefficient method. Is there a formula I can enter or formatting I can apply to get the desired result without using an addition cell?
The result needs to be in a single cell. Splitting text and date/time into 3 adjacent cells will not work with my worksheet setup.
I need to calculate the difference in Years, Months and Days between:
Date 1 = TODAY()
Date 2 = 4 years after a date in cell A1, which will always be earlier than today's date
(A bit of backround - I have certain risk management procedures that have a lifespan of 4 years. I want to calculate the time between now and 4 years after the date the procedure was completed, essentially to see how long before they have to be redone).
So far I have:
=DATEDIF(A1+4,TODAY(),"y")&"y "&DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"ym")&"m "&DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"md")&"d"
But that returns #NUM!.
Removing the +4 obviously just calculated the difference between the date in A1 and today, but I need the date in A1 PLUS 4 years and today.
I have also tried:
=(DATE(YEAR(A1)+4,MONTH(A1),DAY(A1))-TODAY())/365.25
which works in theory, however:
a) no consideration for leap years
b) does not return nY, nM, nD - only the decimal.
However I would be happy to use this method if I could convert it to Years Months Days.
How to create the formula for dates formatted with periods.
