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.
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 have a program that exports the date as 20120621 (4 digit year, 2 digit month, 2 digit day). I have tried =datevalue(cell) but it returns #value!. I have tried =today()-(cell) and it also returns #value!. Is there a formula or something I can do to covert this field to a date?
I am trying to convert a long list of dates from text to date (see A) so that I can sort them from newest to oldest. I've tried converting them using differnt formulas (see B:C) but these don't work.
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.
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.
I have several excel files with datevalues as the timestamp (column A). I would like to add 3 more columns after the timestamp and display the following (derived from the datevalue): column B -> Day of Year column C-> hh:mm column D-> ss.0
how do I split an excel datevalue into Day of Year, hours and minutes, and seconds? Which formulas do I use?
I 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.
The dates entered in column C is in this format 05.11.2007 (dd.mm.yy format) Is there any formula to convert it in proper dates in same which will show the date in 5-Nov-2007 format?
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)?
I have a database spreadsheet where it shows, the date and time a sale was made in 2 different columns, one for date, one for time (in Epoch format). What I need to do is convert this date/time to PST vs. the EST it's defaulted to.
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?
I am trying to use a pivot table to analyse some data. The base contains a "day" date..ie 01/05/08, however I want the pivot table to summarise by the month..ie May 08. I have used the "=month(cellref) command, and it returns the correct month number. However when I try and format this to "mmm" or "mmm yr" to get a month I can then cut and paste, it always retunrs the month of JAN.
I need to amend that column to display 26 Mar ( or 12 Dec or 17 Apr etc depending on value).
Try as I might, using format cells, nothing results in the required display. I'm not even sure what format the cells were in as received, since highlighting the received column and selecting "format cells" does not reveal the initial formatting. If I try pasting special to a new column and selecting values, I just get the numerical date value as a 5digit number.
I am trying to check my sheet names to see if they convert to a valid date format. If it doesn't, then I want it to check for the next criteria (ex - if it equals "Page2"). With the code below I keep getting an error of type mismatch. Code is below.
I need to be able to locate a date in a spreadsheet bassed uppon a user input date. I am looking for the week that contains the user's date. However it seems even if I initialize the value as Date, it still reads the user's input as a string.
Is there an easy way make sure the system automaticaly recognizes the user's input as a date, or is there a way to quicly convert the string to a date?

As if the cell value is 3 convert to 3/3/2014 and so on. I tried changing the cell format which does covert it to 1/3/1900, then I experimented with DATEDIF but didn't get anywhere.
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?
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
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'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 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?
