Custom Format, Combined Date, Time And Letter
Dec 15, 2008I have a lot of data in the following format: 20080531T085930. Formatting the cells with yyyymmddThhmmss doesn't seem to be working. What's the correct way to handle this?

View 3 RepliesI have a file that has the Date and Time combined into one cell. I want to separate the two, and cannot find anywhere on the net to do so!
This is the cells format:
d/mm/yyyy h:mm
Cells look like this:
28/05/2008 12:30
I'm trying to use the Date Time Picker control as a time picker and only want hours and minutes to show. Can this be done with its custom format property (Example)? The usual number formatting string doesn't seem to work.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a column in excel which gets populated in the format "2/1/1980" when copied from a different source. I want a macro to run on this column and convert this in the below format. Required format: '02-01-80 (note the ' symbol before 02 which will keep it as text)
Existing ----> Required
2/1/1980 --> '02-01-80
2/1/1970 --> '02-01-70
2/1/1983 --> '02-01-83
I need this macro to run on two columns and replace them with the required format. I can do a find and replace either in the sheet or through hard coding the VBA, but as the date format keeps growing, I would need to do this via code and hence requesting the same.
How do you make custom date format to a cell in such a way that it appears e.g. "Jan-06"?
I tried custom format "Mmm-yy" but it still resulted to "jan-06".
I want the "J" here to be in the upper case.
I have not learned the custom number format feature. If someone could give me the format for the cell to display:
4/23 Wed
I have loaded a .csv file in which the first column contains date/times, e.g. 01/12/2012 00:00. How do I now tell Excel (2010) that this is in fact a date/time format? If I select one or more of the cells, click on the Number dialog box launcher and try to pick a suitable format tghe cells resolutely refuse to budge from being text (i.e. left-justified, still allows me to edit the 'seconds' component to a number > 60). Also which data type should I be using? The only one that appears to have a full date/time format listed is Custom (not Date or Time).

I am needing to create a sequential serial number using a format yyyy-nnn, where yyyy is the current year and nnn is a sequential number (2007-001). I've tried using both a formula and custom formats but cannot get the cell contents to display as desired. I've used TODAY()&"-"&"001", which gives a valid result of 39100-001, but this not what I need. I've tried many other combinations in the custom option for formatting the cell.

I'm a fan of the Excel 2010 table styles, but can't figure one thing out. When I create a table in excel (Ctrl+T), I like to reformat it with a new defined style. When I save the style, I can use it while I'm in that instance of excel, but when I close and reopen excel, the style is gone. How to save the custom formats to they are always available?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a sheet with a list of dates in it that I wish to format to show the day as well as date and time. I am trying to do this automatically with a macro, below is the before and the desired after.
Before
Format - dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm
Appearance - 29/03/2009 00:30
After
Format - ddd dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm
Appearance - Sun 29/03/2009 00:30
This works fine when I format the cells manually, but when I try to format them via macro '29/03/2009 00:30' becomes 'Sun 29/03/2009 12:30' which is obviously a totally different time! Has anyone got ay idea why it might be doing this?
I have a spread sheet with a date colume that reads: 2012-06-27-19 I need to have this read like 06/27/2012 but nothing I do is working I have tried to go to the formatting process and backing the hr:mm out and that doesn't work. I really don't want to go line by line to manually correct this issue.. HENCE ... over 2000 lines
Second question: If I have a column that reads 02/15/2012 and another column that reads 3/27/2012 how to a format a 3rd column to make it read total number of days between 1st date and 2nd date?

I am using the following formula in Column E to calculate the difference between an employees start time, and their previous shift end time in order to work out how many hours rest they have had:
=IF(A4=0,"",IF(I4=0,"",MOD(I4-B4,1)))
My Current Formula works fine for same day calculations, but if an employee finishes work at 18:00 on Friday and starts work at 22:00 Saturday night, Excel calculates the Total Rest hours as 04:00, when in fact they have had 28:00 hours rest...
Is there a way of calculating the hours difference between two dates?

I have a coloumn of cells in the format Dec 12 2005 07:04 PM
I need to convert them to the format 12/12/2005 19:04
I have a problem when i try to format a cell. i download data from a website and it gives me the date and time in the first column, ex. 1/1/2009 5:00:00 pm. when i format the cell to date, the time is erased and the date remains which is what i want, ex. 1/1/2009. however, when i click on that cell or any other in that column, the display above, or "insert function" line still show the contents of the cell with the date and the time, ex. 1/1/2009 5:00:00 pm. is there any way i can change that so the time is erased and only the date remains, ex. 1/1/2009 when i click on the cell?
I have two worksheets which talk together and one of them gives a time stamp using some VBA code
=format(Now(),"dd/mm/yyyy AM/PM"
in the other spreadsheet I have the Now() function which has been working fine. However, when another user went into the spreadsheet went in it, my calculations between the two dates now error. I am presuming its because of the now function not having some formatting defined so is there anyway of changing this value? The cells-formatting will not obviously work as excel is getting confused between the two time types even though the format looks fine. To help the calculation that is messing up is
=IF($L7="","N",IF(DATEDIF($L7,$J$1,"d")>10,"N","Y"))
whereby L7 is the imported timestamp and J1 is now(). The calculation is to show which accounts become inactive after 10 days.
After reading up on the internet I know that to get round the problem I have to make sure that everyone is using the same regional settings. But I just have a couple of questions:-
1. I can understand the date calculation not working on the other persons machine, but when I went back to look at it I was getting the same error. Even though the file is shared, how come my settings didnt 'overwrite' and how come i was affected?
2. Is there a way to make the code work regardless of who opens it in whatever region? Im not sure if there is a fundamental problem but I cant rely on everyone having the same settings because I know that this will cause problems in the longterm.
3. Using the formuale Now(), is there no way of forcing that to a uk date format to stop the errors?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to count the number of orders written per day. I used the following formula on another sheet and it worked fine, however on this one, A8 is a date only, and F2:F2000 is a date and a time.
I tried reformating the cell for date only, and it displays only the date, however, the time information is still stored, and I can't get it to do the count. Is there a way to count the date regardless of the time?
=COUNTIF('ACT Legacy'!$F$2:$F$2000,Stats!A8)
I need to calculate the difference between two cells that are formated like this: 11/10/2006 13:00. Simple subtract only works when the date hasn't changed (the subtract formula seems to focus on the time and ignore the date).
I found a formula that will work, but the results are in regular numbers, I need the hh:mm format and if I change the format of the result column, the time displayed is wrong.
The formula is=((B2-A2)*1440)/60)
If my result is 122.6 in regular numbers, when I convert to hh:mm I get 14:00.
Is there a better way to do this? Also, is there a way to eliminate weekend & holiday hours from the calculation? This is not as important as getting the results to calculate correctly in the hh:mm format.
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.
