Excel Date Format Change through text formula - excel

I have been trying to change the Excel date 31/03/2020 to =TEXT(D4,"MM-DD-YYYY") but its not working is there any other way to do this by Excel Formula.
Any help will be appreciated.

You will need to use LEFT, MID and RIGHT.
=MID(D4,4,2)&"-"&LEFT(D4,2)&"-"&RIGHT(D4,4)

Trying to use Powershell to format Excel spreadsheet with parentheses as negative numbers

I am very new to Powershell and am trying to convert the data I have in excel from negative numbers into numbers with parentheses. Can someone help me?
For example, -4,414,757 in cell A1 I want to be (4,414,757). Thank you!
You need to change the number format of the cell to General.
$ExcelWorksheet.Cells("A1").NumberFormat = "$#,##0.00_);[Red]($#,##0.00)"

Keeping date style while column is formatted to text

I hope you can help. I am having an issue with formatting.
The issue is this.
In Pic 1 below you can see Column H. Column H needs to stay formatted as Text. The date 03/14/2017 as text is 42808. What I need is the date to be text but remain in this style MM/DD/YYYY. Is there a formatting option that will allow 03/14/2017 to appear in this way and the cell to be text.
I have tried custom MM/DD/YYYY;# but this formats the cell as date again not what i want. I know I could manually type in 03/14/2017 but I want to avoid manual work.
As always any and all help is greatly appreciated.
PIC. 1
Formula:
=TEXT(H2,"MM/DD/YYY")
VBA
ActiveSheet.Range("H2").Value = Format(ActiveSheet.Range("H2").Value2,"MM/DD/YYYY")

Show dates only after a specific date using calculated columns

I need to show dates only after 31/12/2012. The Date column used here is a calculated column. I used the formula =[Created]>12/31/2012. But I need help with the syntax.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
If you need only "Yes/No" value to filter Created date then your formula is correct. You may have a problem if your regional settings are MM/DD/YYYY. In that case you should change the formula to [Created]>31/12/2012. Or the better way would be to change the condition to [Created]>=01/01/2013.
If you need the date, not "Yes/No" column, then this formula should work for you:
=IF([Created]>=1/1/2013,[Created],"TOO OLD")

Converting an excel IF formula to a Powerpivot DAX formula

Im struggling to find a solution for a formula conversion from excel to powerpivot.
Its relatively simple in excel. I want to return a value that says >8000 or <8000 depending on the value of column A (measured depth)
Here is the formula in excel
=IF(A2>8000,"> 8,000",(IF(A2<8001,"<8,000",IF(A2=0,"UNDEFINED"))))
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
David
Try something like this:
=IF([columnName]>8000,"> 8,000",IF([columnName]<8001,"<8,000","UNDEFINED"))

Formatted Cell in Excel

I would like to ask how to format the cell in MS Excel.
I have a text "AB12122" and I would like to format into "AB12-122" without using any formula.
Is this possible?
Thank you in advance.
I just dug around Google, and it looks like the only way to do it is with a formula. The custom formatting is really only useful for numbers. I can however make it say AB12122AB12122AB12122AB12122-AB12122AB12122, if that's helpful. :)
Why can't you use a formula?
You may use character masking under Format Cells > Custom.
