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 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 Date And Time From Odd Text To Standard Format?

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.

Converting Text To Military Date Time Group Format

Apr 12, 2014

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

[Code] .....

Where 02 Is the Date, 2020 is the time (military) Z is Zulu/GMT, MAR is Month and 14 is Year. I believe excel recognizes

[Code] .....

But I have a spreadsheet (on a confidential system) with thousands of entries that I need to convert. Also, the people I have working for me are not remotely. I reject the idea of entering data that way.

I am also trying to keep the display the same format: ddhhmm"Z" MMM yy

Excel 2013 :: Extract Date And Time Info From A Text Cell That Contains Text And Date And Time

Jul 19, 2014

I am using Excel 2013. Anyway, the first issue is that I need to pull a date and a time period from text. So, for example, if I see something like Sunday Prime Time 7/6/14 8:37PM, I would want to pull ONLY the "7/6/14 8:37PM" out of it. Each text box could potentially be different, so it might not always be in the same format as "Sunday Prime Time 7/6/14 8:37PM" it might only show just the date and/or the time without all the extra text i.e. 7/6/14 8:37PM. Some of the cells will have text, others might only have just the time or even just the date and the time. The only thing that I am worrying about in each cell is extracting just the date and time. If this is too much to ask of excel, I would be ok with extracting ONLY the time - 8:37PM and not the date, but I would much rather be able to get both the time and date.

THEN, onto part two of my question. After I would pull the dates and times, I need to compare them with each other. So, when I have the same date with two separate times on that date, I need to write a formula to show if those times on that date are less than 30 minutes apart. So, if I have 6 times on 7/6/14, I need to know if any of them are less than 30 minutes apart.

I would need to have the formula say something like "Problem" if the times on 7/6/14 would be 5:30PM, 5:48PM, 7:00PM, 8:00PM, 8:15PM, and 9:00Pm for example. I would like to see the word "Problem" since 5:30PM and 5:48Pm is only 18 minutes apart, and "Problem" after 8:15PM since that is only 15 minutes past the 8:00PM which is obviously under 30 minutes. The times that are more than 30 minutes apart such as 7:00PM and 9:00PM for example are more than 30 minutes apart from any of the other times that were extracted.

Converting Text To Time ....

Aug 21, 2008

I have a column (R) that is formatted as text. Each cell represents a time in military format.

How do I convert the values in the column to be in 00:00 (hours:minutes) format instead of text?

For instance, 1200 is the value in R2. I want it to show as 12:00.

I tried the following:

1. Create a new column (S)
2. Format the new column (S) as 00:00 format
3. Copy cell R2 (whose value is 1200) and paste into S2.

Result: S2 value is the same (still 1200). Formatting in the S2 cell changed from 00:00 format BACK to text format upon me pasting.

So I tried and changed it BACK to 00:00 format, and I get 0:00 as the new value in cell S2. Also, the function bar shows "4/14/1903 12:00:00 AM" for cell S2. I need a formula for this apparently,

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

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

Converting Normal Time To Epoch Time Format Using Excel

May 18, 2003

I'm working on converting some databases. One has entries with normal human readable time format, the other uses the unix epoch time format.

Is there a function or vba code that I can use in excel to convert the normal time format to epoch time?

I've got a thousand or so entries, so it would be nice to find a way to do this on a large scale.

Converting Cumulative Time To Workweek Time

Feb 1, 2012

I have a chart that contains time per task and then adds the tasks for a grant time total.

Example:

0:05 wash hands
0:10 brush teeth
0:20 shave
0:35 - total morning prep time

In my chart the total time is currently 63:25:00 or 2d 15h 25m

I want to break this down into a number that can be compared to a work week. In other words, if a typical work day is 8 hours, can I break this down to show work days and remaining hours and minutes? I'd like it to break down as: ?days ?hours ? minutes where days is an 8 hour day, not a 24 hour day

Extract Date & Time From Text

Aug 9, 2007

i currently have a table/template in which external data is pasted... however there are 2 colums titles DATE and START TIME (amongst others) now although where the data is pasted from the information is in the correct format. After the information is pasted both the columns have exactly the same information in them. I'm pretty sertain the only reson for this is that the source the records/data actually comes from formats them on the screen differently to how the records are stored on the database using code....

so after the expanation which hopefully made sense is there any way i could convert a record like this

Thu Jun 28 21:54:33 GMT 2007 (this is how the information is pasted into the 2 columns)

to both

28/06/2007 for the DATE column
and
21:54:33 for the START TIME column

the cell format makes no difference because the information is both text and numbers....

Convert Long Date And Time Text To Value

Oct 4, 2013

I have a long date and time text value in a cell such as "2013/10/02 07:43:39.39", where the fractions of a second are very important.

I can use cdate([text]) to convert the text string to a value, but only if i omit the seconds fraction: "2013/10/02 07:43:39".
Otherwise i get a type mismatch error.

Is there any way i can get the whole date/time string converted to a date value? The only way i can think to do it it at the moment is to convert the date/time, then divide the seconds fraction by 86400 and add the 2 values. Is there a better way?

Secondly, i have a large number of these date strings, typically >30k lines x 7 columns. Each string is preceded and trailed by a [space] character.

I can strip these extra spaces no problem. And, i can "loop" to perform it, again no problem. But it's going to take time to perform and i'd rather not if i can avoid it.
