Converting Text To Date?

Sep 25, 2013

I have imported data that is showing dates as 18th Sep 2013. Excel does not like this and I have tried various methods of conversion but nothing seems to work. I will be getting data that has Oct, Nov, Dec etc so the formula needs to be able to handle these too. I would like these 'dates' converted to excel friendly dates.

Converting Text Date And Time To Serial Date And Time

Feb 21, 2013

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?

Converting Text To Date / Time?

Apr 1, 2014

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?

Converting Date Column To Text Formatting

Mar 9, 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).

Loop Converting Date To TEXT Format

Jul 21, 2009

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
End Sub

May 10, 2014

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 am trying to find a way to have excel recognize text data input as date/time.

Sorting By Date For Irregular Date Format

Mar 14, 2014

I have a dataset where the dates are in the following format:

19970803 = 3rd August 1997 (YYYYMMDD)

My aim is to sort the data into months and into 'turn of the month' periods.

-Is there a way to isolate rows using a search term like "****08**" for all the august entries?
-Likewise if i want data between 27th-3rd for every month is there a way to sort for entries between "******27 - *******03".

Sorting Data By Date Within A Date Range

Dec 31, 2009

Hello, I have a question about sorting information using dates but using a range. I need this to sort when I enter a date range into the spreadsheet (the blue blocks on the attached spreadsheet). The factors in colum G need to be sorted by month and input into the yellow highlighted area in column B. There may be an easier way of pulling the data from the "Data" sheet but this was the best I could figure out. Overall, January (or any of the months)needs to have the January (or appropriate) factor that fits within the date range that was input but sorted properly based on the months listed in Column A.

Converting Date Getting #VALUE

Nov 14, 2008

I have an export from a database application in which I have thousands of dates. The dates are not in a date format (normal problem) so I wrote a formula to convert them as follows.

Original Date in A1 : 11/13/2008 This is mm/dd/yyyy

Formula : =VALUE(MID(A1,LEN(A1)-6,2)&"/"&LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-8)&"/"&RIGHT(A1,4))

Result : 13/11/2008

This seems to work at first, until I looked more closely. If I change the date I am converting so that the date in cell A1 is 11/12/2008, ie. the dd value is less than 13, then the formula no longer works. It is fine for all values over 12.

All I get in these cases is #VALUE!

Converting Date To Day

Jan 16, 2009

I am currently converting a date in column "A" to a day in Column "B"

Columns("B:B").NumberFormat = "dddd"
Range("B3:B" & lrow).Formula = "=A3"
can someone please advise what code I need to make the day stay as text only in column "B"
If I do a copy / paste special for column "B" and change it to text it reverts to the number of the date.
I would like it to stay as the day,eg, Monday, Tuesday, etc.

Prefill Text Box In Userform With Today Date But Allow User To Enter Unique Date

May 29, 2014

I have a workbook that I'm using to tracking staffing patterns within a mental health agency. When the workbook opens the user is asked to pick a date range and an office location. I've placed code into the userform that pre-fills the "start date" with today's date and the "end date" 7 days from today's date. I would like the user to be able to enter a unique date range should they wish but I have yet to figure out the coding to accomplish my goal.

Extract Data With Differing Date Formats - Convert Text To Date

Extract data with differing date formats that I need to convert to something consistent that I can format as a date.

This is an example of data.... all with general format at the moment.

I have used this formula to extract the date portion, but I can't get this to then format as date. How do I convert this to the julian date, so I can then apply a date format?

=LEFT(G9,SEARCH("/",G9)+7)

(The day portion of this date always has a leading zero).

Converting Numbers To Date

Jan 11, 2007

I have a HTML table with a column with numbers like

3.6
2.5
1.8
....

and so on...

When I'm trying to open this table in Excel (.csv or if I cut n paste from HTML) Excel keeps converting it to date format.

03.jun
02.may
01.aug

This wouldn't be a problem if I could only go to Format -> Cell and choose Standard or something.

The problem is it ends up like this then:

39236
39204
39295

WTF? :D

I want this!

3.6
2.5
1.8

Converting To Date Format

Aug 22, 2008

I 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

9/30/2007 8:45:18.000 PM

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

How can I change this to a date format without having to change all the dates and times manually (over 10 000 dates)?

Converting A Number To A Date

Aug 11, 2009

I have a column of numbers that are currently text, but they actually represent a date.

I had a column of dates, but needed to convert them into a "week number", so used this formula: =INT((A2-1)/7)

It produced a week number for each date, and produced results like 5594, 5595, etc.

I now need to "reverse" this, and take these numbers (5594, 5595...) and convert them back to actual dates.
