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

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?

View 4 Replies View RelatedDates To String But Cell Formatted As Number
Feb 11, 2014I'm working on a sheet for our accounting section which has been in use for quite some time, which means, that I'm not supposed to change a hell of a lot in it since it's accounting and everybody is afraid of changes.
Coming to the point, I have the following problem:
(1) I have a date.
(2) I need that date in this format: "mm-yyyy", written in a certain cell.
(3) BUT: the cell should NOT contain the date itself, but JUST the text (some tables in the background need this format)
(4) Changing the cell to text-format is not eligible, since it puts an " ' " in front of the numbers.
(5) The cell should be formatted as a number.
So, in conclusion:
I need a string/number with the date in this format: "mm-yyyy" in the cell formatted .NumberFormat = "0".
I'm working on an existing workbook...
I decided to add some code and a screenshot. This code will return the number, which lies behind the date, and write it into the cell. So that's not what I want, but maybe the code clarifying what I need anyway.
The screenshot shows the wanted output : screenie.png
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).

Aug 4, 2014I have a range that contains dates, with some cells within containing text (e.g. "TBC" or "planning will occur wk42"). I have basic rules as below:
- highlight red if older than today
- highlight green if today or in the future
The problem I have is that the cells that have text are highlighted green which I don't want. I also don't want to have to go through the range removing conditional formatting from each of those cells each time I copy over new data. Is there a way of telling excel to not use conditional formatting on those cells that contain text so I can manually highlight as I need? Some have text as that is how I receive the data.

Aug 6, 2012I have a strange issue. I have column "B" has date texts in it ( don't know if it means value) like 21.09.2012. The cells are in text format.
VB:
Sub ReFormatCell()
Range("B:B").Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "dd.mm.yyyy ddd"
With Range("B:B")
.Formula = .Value
End With
I tried ".Value = .Value" or ".Formula = .Value" or Copy paste or offset...... Non of the codes didn't work to make date format as I desired :/
The order is something like:
1. Format column "B" as text.
2. Offset text value 21.09.2012 to B.
3. Reformat cell as date
4......?!?!
What should I change to display "21.09.2012" as "21.09.2012 Wed" in B:B range?

Adding Formatted Date To A Messagebox
May 3, 2007I have a cell E1 that is actually a vlookup and returns a date. I had to custom format the cell so the value returned looks like "June 2007" instead of "39827". I am running a macro and I need a messagebox to tell the user that they are creating an email for June 2007 (which is really the variable cell E1). Problem is the message gives the date as '6/4/2007' instead of 'June 2007'. I tried using the text() function to format the cell as "mmmm yyyy" but I get a type mismatch error. Below is the code I wrote. The first way shows successful but the date as numeric. The second gives me the type mismatch error: First way:
a = Range("e1").Value
Msg3 = "You are about to create an email for " & a & ". Are you sure?" 'Define msg
Style = vbYesNo + vbQuestion + vbDefaultButton2 ' Define buttons.
Title3 = "Create new file" ' Define title.
Response3 = MsgBox(Msg3, Style, Title3)
If Response3 = vbYes Then ' User chose Yes.
'create email
Second way (mismatch error): a = text(Range("e1").Value, "mmmm yyyy") Msg3 = "You are about to create an email for " & a & ". Are you sure?" ' Define message.
Style = vbYesNo + vbQuestion + vbDefaultButton2 ' Define buttons.
Title3 = "Create new file" ' Define title.

View 6 Replies View RelatedText And Formatted Date & Time In Cell
Mar 19, 2008I am trying to get a single cell to display the following:
Last Updated: 3/18/2008 15:08 (GMT+2)
Entering =NOW() in a cell displays the date and time as required.
But entering ="Last Updated: "&NOW()&" (GMT+2)" displays the date and time as a serial number. Formatting the cell to Date does not change the serial number to date and time format.
The only way I have found to get the desired result is to use =NOW() in another cell (F13), format that cell to general to get the date/time serial number, then use ="Last Updated: "&TEXT(F13,"m/d/yyyy h:mm ")&" (GMT+2)" in the required destination cell.
As I said this works, but it strikes me as an inefficient method. Is there a formula I can enter or formatting I can apply to get the desired result without using an addition cell?
The result needs to be in a single cell. Splitting text and date/time into 3 adjacent cells will not work with my worksheet setup.
Changes Format To DATE For All Cells
Apr 8, 2013I have a couple Excel files that exhibit a very odd and annoying behavior. When I save the files, everything is fine and all cells are formatted as they should be (e.g., general, text, numbers, etc). However, when I open the file again, all cells are formatted as date. This is quite annoying since some underlying data will be destroyed.
I already checked if the format style "normal" is damaged, and indeed it was (the standard format was set to date). However, I changed this back to general before saving, yet still see all cells formatted as date after reopening the file (this does not happen consistently... most of the time everything is fine but occasionally I get the date mess-up).
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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedDatedif But For Date In Future And To Return Formatted Time Value
Aug 4, 2009I need to calculate the difference in Years, Months and Days between:
Date 1 = TODAY()
Date 2 = 4 years after a date in cell A1, which will always be earlier than today's date
(A bit of backround - I have certain risk management procedures that have a lifespan of 4 years. I want to calculate the time between now and 4 years after the date the procedure was completed, essentially to see how long before they have to be redone).
So far I have:
=DATEDIF(A1+4,TODAY(),"y")&"y "&DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"ym")&"m "&DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"md")&"d"
But that returns #NUM!.
Removing the +4 obviously just calculated the difference between the date in A1 and today, but I need the date in A1 PLUS 4 years and today.
I have also tried:
=(DATE(YEAR(A1)+4,MONTH(A1),DAY(A1))-TODAY())/365.25
which works in theory, however:
a) no consideration for leap years
b) does not return nY, nM, nD - only the decimal.
However I would be happy to use this method if I could convert it to Years Months Days.

View 3 Replies View RelatedFormat->cells->date Not Applied
May 5, 2007I can select an individual cell or range, select Format->Cells->" date" format, hit okay, and nothing actually changes unless I click on a cell so that it brings up the edit cursor. I can then hit enter (not changing the content of the cell in any way) and then Excel recognizes it as a date. The cell values are all in the standard "3/14/2001" format, with the exception that single digits are 0-padded, and there are no spaces preceding or following the date string. The issue here is that without the cells being recognized as actual dates, they cannot be properly sorted, eg: the original range:
01/04/2005
01/01/2005
01/02/2004
01/03/2005
is sorted, incorrectly, to:
01/01/2005
01/02/2004
01/03/2005
01/04/2005
...obviously for ascending order, the single 2004 date should be placed at top. Any ideas other than a custom date-text parsing macro? I could do that, but the size of each sheet, the number of sheets per batch, and the frequency of individual batches makes that idea completely impractical. ...Technically, my macro couldn't sort the above ranges correctly, but on further investigation, I noticed I couldn't do it manually either.
