Every month, I have an import a report to a spreadsheet. At my column A, it supposed to be a date format.
For some reasons, I have a combination of a few cells of date format and a few cells of general format with no order at all.
What I need is: Search in the A column, if date format leave it , if not change from general to date format.
How we can convert any data which is in General format in to date format.For ex I've:
19/03/2012 14:57 (General format)
I want the output/result
19-Mar
I have two columns where there are dates (e.g. 11/05/2009) in a date format; I would like to change the format to `general`; but without losing the original values, i.e. I still want to see 11/05/2009, but just in `general`format. Is it possible to create a macro that will do that? I want these values to stay in the same place, i.e. if it is in cell K10, I still want to have it there - just in other format.

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?
I have a cell that is constantly being changed from a date to a number. Excel automatically formats the cell as a date when a date is entered but if I re-enter a number it leaves the format as a date.
Is there anyway to automatically change the format back to general if a date is not entered.
I had this bit of code obviously it dosent work.
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("E8:E46")) Is Nothing Then
If IsDate(Target.Value) Then
Target.NumberFormat = "d/mm/yy;@"
Else
Target.NumberFormat = "General"
End If
End If
Cancel = True
I have a spreadsheet with a column full of dates
I used the formatting wizard to make all dates the format of dd/mm/yyyy but, now, when I put a date in the column it throws up a number '41313' instead of a date, even if I manually input the date in the same format as above.
Also, I have tried to turn cells back into general number fields, but this doesn't appear to be changing it back to a date format..
There are HUNDREDS of dates I might have lost if I can't get them to start showing as dates again!
I have a cell which says November , 2012 in General format
In the next cell i want a date of the following month . Eg : 1-Dec-2012.
I tried =DATE(RIGHT(G4,4),LEFT(FIND(",",SUBSTITUTE(G4,",",",",1))),1)
I have dates in Col E that are in mm/dd/yyy. I would like a macro to convert these in the format dd/mm/yyyy.

In D2 I have: =B2
In D3 I have manually input: (space)3-08
As you can see the CONCATENATE puts the "39569" date in A2 But the second line puts the text date as I prefer. What I would like to do is put in a formula or macro in D2 and down that will change the "Mar-08" to "3-08" so it CONCATENATEs correctly to column A. Simply: I'm trying to avoid manually inputing the text version "3-08" (or whatever M-Y) into D2 down a hundred or so rows!
I have a procedure that allows me to view and make changes to data in a table. I list the current values for the item in one column and use simple formula to copy that value to another column where if there are changes that need to be made, the formula is simply overwritten. The Macro is then selected using a command button and the formulas are all overwritten using copy/paste values to keep from writing out the formula to the data table. These values are then all written back to the data table, current values are overwritten with whatever is in the update column, new data or old data.
I have one cell out of 48 that has decided to march to the tune of a different drummer. The format changes from General to Text and the formula written from the macro is what shows up in the cell instead of the value of the formula. Never a big disciplinarian, I have to wonder if I have been too lenient on the cell and this defiance is the price I have to pay.
The sheet is protected only allowing entry into the cells available for update.
Here is the bit of code that affects this cell (starting from a format of General:
Code:
Sheets("Product Data").Cells(ItemRow, 3).Value = Sheets("Update").Cells(6, 8)
Sheets("Update").Cells(6, 8).FormulaR1C1 = "=(RC[-6])"
I just don't see anything that would change the format, and these are the only two lines that even reference cells(6,8).
I tried to set the format for the cell from within the Macro, but with the sheet being protected, it just dumps me out to my error message.
How do I change a date "10/01/2004" into a format like 20041001? I used concatenate(right(A1,4),left(A1,2),mid(A1,4,2)) but the function takes the serial value of the date as an argument and concatenates that . So I get a different value.How can I get away with it?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a group of cells in E2:E4 that are 144.00 in, 240.00 in, and 72.00 in and are formatted as general.
I get these values when I export data from an AutoCAD program to Excel and I want to sum these values to get the total length.
I want to sum the three values and have the result be the same (i.e., ###.## in). The number of values can go to 30, so I need a simple line of code, =SUM(???)
I have a column of cells with values - 0.2%, 0.32%, 0.22, 0.5 etc. The cells with % symbol are in ' Percentage, 2 decimal' format while the plain numbers are in 'General' format i.e. column contains cells in either of these formats. I need a macro where I can specify the column and it will select the cells with the % format, convert it to 'General' and multiply the result by 100 eg. 0.2% converted to 'General' becomes 0.002. When multiplied by 100, result is 0.2 i.e. is displayed without the % symbol.

Now I need to calculate the age of the defect in number of days by using the formula
=NOW()-J26 where the cell J26 contains the above data . However I always get the display as #VALUE in the cell.
I changed the field format for cell J26 to custom dddd, mmmm dd, yyyy h:mm:ss AM/PM but still does not work.
My question now is- how do I convert dddd, mmmm dd, yyyy h:mm:ss AM/PM to mm/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss AM/PM so that I would be able to find the age of the defects?
Or is the a way to change the format for NOW() to something dddd, mmmm dd, yyyy h:mm:ss AM/PM?
I am having some issues converting the dates in column A on the attached spreadsheet to the mmmm format. I cannot get the dates to change format at all so I was hoping someone might have some ideas why. I have tried everything I can think of. The only thing that has worked so far has been to retype the date in the cells. I have 32000 rows of data I have to convert.

I am trying to make a very simple macro but get stuck in de Excel date format. When using the date "=TODAY()" in one cel it is no problem but I want to integrate it in the CONCATENATE function.
I want to create this text "(WG 01-01-2006)" but then with the actual date of that day of course, which can be inserted in de active cell.
Whatever I do, copy, pastespecial, reed text with RIGHT, change format on an temporary cell etc. Excel keeps returning the number in Excel date format counting from 01-01-1900. Nice for calculating but I want the date text!
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'm trying to convert a date in the following format: 19970121 to 1/21/1997 and am having trouble getting rid of the leading zero in the final version. I also need it to pick up the 2 digits in months that have them from 9 (Sept) through 12 (Dec), though, for use in a VLOOKUP function. Can this be done at all?
Here is the code I've been using so far that doesn't entirely work for what I need it to do:
=CONCATENATE(LEFT(RIGHT(B2,4),2),"/",RIGHT(B2,2),"/",LEFT(B2,4))
where B2 refers to the column the original date form (19970121) is in. I'm still stuck with the leading zero in this code.
I 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!
Is there a way to convert date to text of format (number stored as text) either directly using excel formulas or VB macros. We've a requirement to pass today's date as a string in the format of "number stored as text".

My excel recently the General number format so that when the general number fomat is used and I type a number in a blank cell with the general format, the number is always divided by 10.
E.g., I enter "102", the number is automatically improperly converted to 1.02.
However, if I enter "=102", the number is properly entered as 102.
How can I reset the General format to the original setting without this divide by 100 problem?
