I've been give a string of numbers (e.g. 2172003) and been asked to convert it into a date (converted to: 2/17/2003 ). Besides manually inserting the back slashes, what formula could I use to do it for me? (I've tried using the 'formatting cells' tool and it will not format properly).
View 9 RepliesA little background on what i am doing. I have a spreadsheet that tracks when i have blown the dust out of our computers. I have set up conditional formatting so that the text turns red after 300 days and the cell turns yellow after 600 days. However, some computers are in high dust environments. I would like the spreadsheet to tell me to blow the dust out of these sooner. see the attached sheet.

I have to excel files
1. Temperature & Humidity Reading
2. Summary
I tried to copy a date from Temperature & Humidity Reading file using the formula ='[Temperature & Humidity Reading.xlsx]Sensor 7'!$C$2 to Summary file
if the date format is like this 6/10/2013 12:00:00 AM the result is fine, but when i try to copy that formula for the succeeding dates the results is same from what i copied.
I am trying to create a macro to run from a form button, within a report, to save a file to a variable file path and name depending on the date value in cell B5.
The format of B5 looks like - 13/08/2014 16:39
The file path has folders for each year in format "yyyy" with each year having sub folders for each month in format "mm".
The file name is just the date only and is formatted "dd.mm.yy" e.g. 13.08.14
I have tried the code below in various permutations but always end up with an error - Method 'SaveAs' of object '_Workbook' failed.

In cell c23 i am trying to return a date which is in cell h4 and then the word "to" and then another date in cell l4
the formula i have is
i m having problems with a simple formula but i cant get it right
in cell a1
I found this really great vb code for my spreadsheet to be updated with the current date whenever the range is updated. I modified it a bit to include a bit more in the cell A1. what I can't work out is how to format the date so that it only shows me the date as 06/07/2009. It currently returns the date and time.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a column with dates formatted as yyyy-mm-dd (2006-12-21). Then I have a cell with data validation set to a list based off that column, formatted the same way. The problem I run into is that, let say I select 2006-12-21, the value is returned as 12/21/2006. The reason this is a problem is later in my macro, I am using the value to open a file based off that date. I currently have the files named in the same format (2006-12-21.xls). So when the macro goes to open the file, it errors out saying it cannot find 12/21/2006.xls. I have no problem changing the name format for my dated files, however, as you are aware, slashes cannot exist in the file name.
So my question is, when selecting my yyyy-mm-dd formatted date, how to I get the macro to not read the value as mm/dd/yyyy? If it helps, here is the code I am using to retrieve the value:
startDate = Worksheets("Macro").Range("B5").Value
B5 is obviously where the drop down is.
I tried to DL the HTML Maker to post my issue, but for some reason it wouldn't work with Excel2007. The problem is pretty simply, but I can't figure the code out. I have a column of data that looks like this:

Jan 18 @ 7:21pm
Jan 18 @ 7:15pm
Jan 18 @ 5:48pm
Jan 18 @ 5:44pm

Basically month and day with no year. The months are Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr..and so forth. Some cells have no data, others have various numeric characters included (as above). I want a loop that will format to MM/DD/YYYY. I have another column with dates in that format which I can use Offset to pull the year if I need to.
I have a very large spreadsheet that looks like this

What I would like to highlight those cells in green that got to their current state before their due date.
So the date in F is before the Date in H and highlight those in red that did not get to their date in F before the date in H..
I need to enter a range of dates and have any date that falls within that period (regardless of year) highlight. I currently have it referncing two different years, but I need more range than that and I can't get it to highlight dates in July if they were dates that happened 1, 2, 3, etc. years ago.

View 6 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to date format a cell so that when I enter only the number date (ie today is October 13 so I'd enter 13) the cell formats to the current month with the date?
So for today I'd enter "13" and the cell would read 13-Oct. Additionally, when the month turns to November that same cell, without me making any changes to it, would change to 13-Nov. For future dates it would always show the current month with the date I entered manually.

View 2 Replies View Relatedi seem to be having a problem formatting the date in my table. I format the cells in the 'date' category to display the date as '14-Mar-01' but only some of the dates in the cells are changed. I have entered all the dates in this format: 01/01/09. Why do some cells change to the correct format and others do not.

The data in cell E10 is a date derived from the formula
=IF($C$2<>"",IF(E10="",NOW(),E10),"")
It is a time stamp and works fine. My issue is when I copy and paste the data I am getting the date and time. I just need the date copied not the time. I currently just go in to the date and delete the time from the entry but need to refine the process. Cell E10 is the only issue in the current setup.

View 4 Replies View RelatedOnce in a while, for some reason, Excel decides to format a whole random file in my hard drive to dates.
So far, I haven't bothered because it only happens once each month and a half or something like that.
The thing is, recently, it happened again. But now, each time I import some data (copy/paste) in a sheet, Excel decides to format any number data to dates. The data imported has nothing to do with a date (1-5 or 1/5), it's just numbers.
I originally thought it was the imported data that was at fault, but it's not.
I can't format my cells to text, because it's going to screw up a lot of my formulas and it wouldn't make sense anyway.
I have a macro that pulls the date from cell C9. The formula I have in C9 is =today(). In the cell it shows todays date the way I have the cell formatted. MMM-YY. Which is The formula bar is displaying the formula in some and the date in the form of mm/dd/yyyy.
I need the formula mmm-yy to be in the cell and have the cell and the formula bar display Nov-13 in this case. The reason being that the macro is reading from the formula bar, usless I can change that some how?
I have a column contain cell with value of dates. The value is from Vlookup formula. The problem is when I try to do color code to yellow for any past date from current date to all cells that contain the date value in that column, I dont see any change.
The formula I used for past date from current is =today()-1 (so that should be correct). So, I am wondering why none of the dates that past do not change the color thru the conditional formatting I did.
The Conditional formatting formula I used:
"Format only cells that contain" -- > Cell Value -- > less than or equal to -- > =today()-1
Is there any way to turn a number that is in general/text format into a date?
IE:
82005
92005

9/2005 or Sep'05
10/2005 or Oct'05
I have tried using IF statements and it looks like there's a limit in the amount of scenerios you can have. I get data in text format that comes to me in numbers and I'm just looking to turn those numbers into dates so I can sort them properly.
I have 2 columns that I need to set conditional formatting for. In one column (D) I have a date of when a person needs to be paid. In the next column (E) I have when the date of payment was or nothing indicating I have still not paid this person. What I need column D to do is have conditional formatting (im assuming this is the right way to do this) color the cell if we are late or if the person has not been paid yet according to the date in the E cells. Here is what I have so far:
(in cell D1)
Condition 1:
Cell Value is greater then =$E1
Color grey
Condition 2:
Cell value is less than =$E1
Color pink
He is where im running into the trouble. Condition 1 indicates that if cell D is greater then cell E then I have paid the person on time or sooner (grey). Condition 2 shows that if cell D is a date before the date in cell E then it turns pink indicating I was late on payment.
What I also need the condition to do is change cell D pink if there is no info in cell E, which is indicating that I still need to pay someone. So I tried a 3rd condition, but it doesn’t coincide with condition 1. I tried:
Condition 3:
Cell value is greater then 0
Color pink
What I need the 3rd condition to do is say if cell E has nothing in it then I need cell D to change to pink. Im assuming I need 3 conditions for this to work, but im not to sure.
I would like to know if it is possible to format a cell where you enter a date (08-02-2009) and it returns "08-02-09 thru 08-08-09" that weeks date range in that cell.
Format custom mm-dd-yy " Thru " mm-dd+6-yy
I know will not work but is there a way to do this??
i have a cell with a date in it, e.g. 18/09/09 is there anyway that i can ask excel 2007 to look at the cell and simply return the month into an adjacent cell, so in this case September.
A1 B1
Date Month
18/09/09 September
I'm currently running a macro which copies data from one sheet and pastes it to another.
One of the fields on the primary sheet is a date in the english format DD/MM/YY but when it pastes onto the second sheet it becomes a Julian date 39820 instead of 01/07/09, and when this figure is converted back to date format it becomes american format MM/DD/YY
Currently I've set the macro to PasteSpecial xlValue
How can I make it paste into English format?
I'm using excel 2003
the following code populates a 9 column listbox in a userform. Me.ListBox1.List = Sheets("temp"). Range("A1"). CurrentRegion.Value.
The first column of the listbox contains a date and this is where my problem lies. The date formatting from the "temp" sheet is not being maintained when the listbox is populated. Can I run a loop or something to scan down the first column of the listbox and if the entry is numeric convert it to the date format "dd-mmm-yyyy", at the moment it seems to be using the date format "mm-dd-yyyy". Also, is there a way to autofit the columns of the listbox?
