Date Format Is Remaining As Serial Dates
Feb 1, 2007My dates are coming up in serial format even though I have the cells formatted to date. It doesn't matter which date format I select they all remain as serial dates.

Date Format Not Remaining After External Data Connection Refresh
Jul 9, 2014I have an excel table that connects to an external sharepoint site.
When I refresh (via external data connection), the "start date" and "end date" column formats change. The only way I can correct this is to copy those columns to notepad, and then paste them back into the spreadsheet.
I have several calculated cells based upon these date fields. Once refreshed, the data is incorrect until I copy and paste those dates as stated above.
This removes the functionality of simply "refreshing" the data resulting in a manual process.
Convert Serial Number To Date Format
Nov 27, 2007Quick question:
If I have a serial date, e.g., 37883, in Excel, how can I convert to 092007, using that exact format?

Convert Serial Date Time To General Format
Jul 28, 2007I use software that exports date/time stamps in the format of: MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss.s
I like to keep the data in this general format so that we can keep it consistent and it can be useful to others using other software.
I recently had to do some date/time stamp manipulations where I added 61 days to a dataset because the data was erroneously set to a diferent calendar. (Still don't know how that happened but it isn't relevent to this issue) When I set up a formula to add 61 days, it appears that it automatically converted it to the excel serial date/time format before adding the 61 days. Now I have a column of data that is mostly general format but has this portion in serial format. How can I get the serial format changed back to general so that the entire column is in the same format?
Some Dates In Format Not Being Converted Into Normal Date Format?
May 23, 2014I have a some dates in a format which are not being converted into the normal date format. So i made this formula to convert it into the normal date format:
=IF(LEN(B218)=10,(MID(B218,4,2)&"/"&LEFT(B218,2)&"/"&RIGHT(B218,4))+0,IF(LEN(B218)=9,(MID(B218,3,2)&"/"&LEFT(B218,1)&"/"&RIGHT(B218,4))+0,IF(LEN(B218)=8,(MID(B218,3,1)&"/"&LEFT(B218,1)&"/"&RIGHT(B218,4))+0,"")))
Formula is working fine except on this type of date "9/9/2013"..i also tried an OR formula with mid but didnt get the desired result.These are the type of dates:
12/10/2013
12/9/2013
9/11/2013
9/9/2013
7/25/2013
Y:M:D & H:M:S Remaining B/T 2 Dates W/ Times
Jan 19, 2009I am trying to create a "daily donut" to track how long it has been since I left for my current deployment, and how much time I have left until I return home. I would like to show exactly how many year(s), month(s), day(s), hour(s), minute(s), and second(s) (like 1 year, 4 months, 4 hours, 5 minutes, & 34 seconds not 1.0 year, 0.33 months, etc.) it has been (again, not 3600 seconds, 60 minutes, 1 hour, etc.), and how many I have left. I have spent many hours trying to figure this out, and I have even tried looking through this forum, but I still can't completely figure this out. I was close in figuring out the date differences in the x amount of years, months, and days format, but it wouldn't account for the time. I.E., 06/03/09 05:00:00 AM - 06/01/08 06:00:00 AM, would show 2 days, instead of 1 day (I'm not sure how to incorporate the time yet).
The variables are:
A1 Date I Left For My Deployment in M/DD/YY HH:MM:SS AM/PM
A2 =Now() Function in Same Date & Time Format as A1
A3 = Date I Get Home from My Deployment in Same Date & Time Format as A1
Any ideas or help? And if possible, I would like to be able to do this using excel's built in functions (not excel add-ons, vb, etc.), so that it would work on government computers.
Dates In Excel And Days Remaining In Quarter
Dec 2, 2009How to determine how many days are remaining in the quarter after I provide it a specific date. Ultimately I am trying to build something where if I enter a date it will break down how much it will contribute for the remaining current quarter and for one full year (on a quarterly basis).
For example lets say I buy gumball machine today and I know that it will contribute X dollars for 2009 and X+1 dollars in 2010. I would like to break it down quarterly and have it say - you will get X for the rest of the quarter in 2009 and X for each quarter in 2010.
Pasting Dates Into Second Worksheet Changes The Serial Number
Aug 28, 2006I'm having some trouble with copying dates from certain worksheets into new worksheets. When the data is pasted into the new worksheet, the date changes by four years. Somehow, the process of copying and pasting is reducing the serial number by 1462 units (days).
I'm not sure whether this is a bug or a security restriction to prevent copyright breaches. There's a way of getting around it, but I'm curious as to why this is happening. The dates copy and paste correctly into the existing worksheet, but not a new one. An example is attached and the dates are in columns C & D.

Custom Date Format: For 2 Dates

Convert Non-US Dates To US Date Format
Dec 9, 2006I am parsing a string which contains (European) dates:
"10/08/2005,11/08/2005,12/08/2005,13/08/2005,14/08/2005,".
When broken into individual cells, dates before the 13th of the month are recognised as "American" dates and display as "08/10/2005", "08/11/2005", 08/12/2005" etc. with automatic date format. Dates from the 13th onwards are left in general format as "13/08/2005", "14/08/2005".
I have written a macro that converts each date individually to its correct Excel serial number, but I can't help thinking that there must be a simpler way, and that I cannot be the first to have asked this!
Non US Date Format For Dates In CSV File
Oct 21, 2007I am using a CSV that has the date in Column A in the format of DD/MM/YYYY. When I open this CSV using a VBA comand the Format of the Cells in this col are then formated as either Date or General. The general format happends when the date cant be turned into US format and when it can then the date is turned US and displayd as such.
SO
14- Sep = 14/09/2007 as General
10- Sep = 09/10/2007 as Date
Im in Australia so the correct format is DD/MM/YYYY. Microsoft has issued a fix for this using Local:=True in the file open comand which is all good and well as it works unless you have office 2000 when it crashes. What would be the best way of fixing this, so that the Dates are all correct or the col is all the same format?

Conditionally Format Entire Row For Dates 15 Days Past Today Date?
Jun 11, 2014I have spent too many hours Googling and trial with mostly error in attempting this. I formatted the very first cell A1 for today's date =TODAY(); this is also dirrectly above the column with all the dates in it. I just want an entire row's contents to turn red if it is 15 days old or older. This =$A1<TODAY()-15 somewhat works, but it only turns the date cell red, not the whole row. It also makes blank cells turns red, which I would like to remain blank (another formula is needed I imagine).

View 3 Replies View RelatedMonth Serial Without Date In Cell
Jan 13, 2007That is what my spreadsheet looks like. I have about 130 in the sheet I'm working on now. A is my date cell, B is my total for that date, C is the cell I have made for the =Month(serial_number). The problem i'm having is how do I get it to not put a number in my "C" cell when there isn't a month present?
This sheet will change weekly, so I've went down to 300 with my month formula. When entering the formula in the cells that do not have the month, it automatically inserts a 1 that throws the count off for my entire sheet. How can I leave the code for my month in without having it add a number when there's no month?
Serial Number Date Displaying Incorrect Day?
Dec 16, 2008I maintain a class register in Excel to monitor student attendance. The first row shows the date of the class in the form dd-mm.
I need to identify all dates which fall on a Monday and thought that if I custom formatted a new row as "dddd" and enter the formula =DAY(cell ref) into the cells of this new row it would achieve this- I could easily spot the Mondays for the period under review.
What I'm finding, however, is that the formula seems to incorrectly state that 16th September 2008 is a Monday whereas it's actually a Tuesday- utterly bizarre!
I can get a fix simply by modifying the =DAY() formula by adding 1 to my formula [ie =DAY(A1)+1] but am wondering is this a "so called known issue" with Excel or has anyone else come across it? I have never previously come across this and consider myself to be an above average competency level user of the application.

Feb 7, 2013I need to convert a date into a serial number. The serial number must return the format DDDYYNN where DDD is the day of the year, YY is the year, and NN is the sequential build number. As an example, if 10 units are built on 2/6/2013, the serial numbers would be 0371301, 0371302 ...0371310. Cell A1 would contain the current date (2/6/13) in this example. Column B1 - B10 would be the sequential serial numbers generated by the formula.

Dates - Show Month Only, And Actually Be The Month Only (not Just Format The Date)
Jul 28, 2008I have a range of dates from 2003 to 2012. I formatted them to the 'Mar-01' option, but when I want to pivot on the month, Excel still reads them as the date - example 3/25/2008, 3/28/2008...and so my pivot table has multiple columns for all of the dates present in that month.
How do I truly format my dates so that excel reads them as the month only so that I can then pivot and show 12 columns (months) per year?
Conditional Format Dates In A Calender When Matches Dates In A List
May 14, 2009Hi Guys, This has been bugging me for a bit now and I just can't sus it...
I have a sample perpetual calender that I have been modifying to fit my own purpose. The calender part works fine.
I have beside that a column for holidays, etc and then a another column for other events.
When I put the date in the holiday or events columns I would like the date to be highlighted in the calender above (different colour depending on which column it came from).
The formula I have been playing with (no success) is:
=MATCH(DATE($R$2,1,C8),$I$41:$I$65,0) - This is the Formula for the 1st column of dates.
The 2nd formula is similar, just changes the column it tries to draw the MATCH(DATE.... from...
Although this formula works fine on the sample spreadsheet. When I enter the formula on my sheet, it doesn't seem to work...
I have attached the spread sheet that I am working on.
