Date Converting To 1/0/1900 On Entry
Jan 30, 2008
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?

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 am working with an Excel file that was created in 2001, has not been updated since.
In the first column on the first tab, is a date field, starting from 12/31/2000.
I try to change this to 12/31/2008, and I get the return date of 01/00/00. When I select the cell, the formula bar indicates 12/31/2008, but the cell shows 01/00/00.
If I change it back to 12/31/2000, it is back to normal. I tried to enter 2/3/2009 in another cell, converting to date format, and the same thing: 0/1/00 (Jan 0, 1900)
This is a US date format.

I currently have to display a large amount of data on a separate report. I have a master sheet which has columns and cells linked to another sheet, then a further sheet which has cells linked to the master sheet. The problem I am getting is when I link some of the date columns using a formula in the 3rd sheet, as this is looking at a cell that has another formula in on the other sheet it is displaying a date of 00/01/1900 if the value is zero, is there any easier way of getting the data to just display a blank as this is messing up the database it is being exported

The result of my formula should be blank, but 1/1/1900 appears instead and I can't get rid of it. Does anyone know why or how to fix. I can't just change the font color as it screws up other formulas.
=IF(ISNA((VLOOKUP(VendorTracking!$P10,LeadTimeVlookup,2,FALSE))),"",VLOOKUP(VendorTracking!$P10,LeadTimeVlookup,2,FALSE))
In this case the Vlookup is referring to an apparently blank cell with no formula in it. I googled 1/0/1900 and saw a few references that said formatting a cell with zero in it as a date would cause this result, but there is no zero in this case.

I have a column of data that requires the cell to be blank if the value is 00/01/1900. The data is linked to another cell. IE: cell E3 is linked to cell $D$3 The cell is formatted for dates in the format shown.

Three columns.
A - Date last checked
B - Due Date
C - Actual Date checked
Currently column B is formatted to Date and simply has =A+84 and will display a date 3 months in future. However if there is no date in column A, then column B displays a default 1900 date.. Is there a way of making this blank if there is no date in col A?

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 am using Microsoft Excel 2010.

I am working on a spreadsheet to create a school 'tracking' system based on excel. What I need is that as soon as a box in column B is ticked, a date (TODAY() is entered in column A. That is not so difficult, and I have used the formula in cells in column A:
=IF(ISBLANK(Bx);"";TODAY()), where x is the specific row.
So, keep cell A clear untill something is written in cell B. This works fine.
But, for the purpose I need to keep the TODAY() date fixed after entry. And it need to be erased again if the tickbox in cell B is emptied again. It need then to re-enter a new date after cell B is re-used.

I'm having a problem with data validation. I set an entire column so that it could only be a date between the first date in the list and the current date. I tested a few cells to make sure that it was working the way I wanted and I noticed that it allows a random number like 3 or 5 to be input after row 50. This would create a date in the 1900s. Why is this happening and how can I stop it.

I'm an accountant, so I've always dealt with relatively current dates. Now I'm trying to do some geneology work, and I find that I can't put in a date prior to 1900. For example if I input "3/5/1870", it comes out as text. If I input "=date(1870,3,5)", it returns 3/5/3770 -adding 1900 years to my date. I don't need to do anything mathmatically with it, but it would be nice to have it return "March 5, 1870".

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!

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've conditioned formated some cells so that someone can type a number in and a date will appear in the cell.
Problem is if someone types 20 in the cell.. excel reverts back to Jan-20-1900
How can I get the current month and year when a number is typed in the cell?
Did excel exsist in the 1900?
SOLVED

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
....

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 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 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.

I have a spreadsheet which was formatted from VB code. Within the sheet there are four date columns where some dates show as 00/01/1900 (due to them having '0' in at the time of running the code). I am trying to run some code to blank out all cells showing the 00/01/1900 date, but the code just isn't touching it. I reverted to simply recording the 'find and replace' function and inserting into my code, but those irritating dates still remain.
Code I have used is as follows:

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.
