My data is extracting to this format May 22 2020 6:29PM
How do you convert this into 22/05/2020?
I have gotten the formula to this point =+LEFT(E12,LEN(E12) - FIND(" ",E12)-4) but cannot get it any further.
Try the following:
=DATEVALUE(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(E12,FIND("~",SUBSTITUTE(E12," ","~",3)))," ",", ",2))
and apply the date format dd/mm/yyyy to the cell:
Note that this discards the time portion of the original date/time.

I have date/time text values in a column of an excel table. Ignore the quotation marks...
"October 1, 2020 6:00 pm"
"October 2, 2020 6:00 am"
Excel does not parse this automatically as a date/time.
What formula will allow me to parse this to a date/time excel represents as a true date/time
Cheers
If above information is in string format and consistent as depicted then below formula can be used.
For date:
=DATEVALUE(LEFT(A1,FIND(":",A1,1)-3))
For time:
=TIMEVALUE(MID(A1,FIND(":",A1,1)-2,99))
If data is in actual date time then following can be used.
For date:
=INT(A1)
Format cell in date format.
For time:
=A1-INT(A1)
Format cell in time format.
Edit:
You can try below formula which is rather unwieldy. It should work irrespective of locale.
=DATE(TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",REPT(" ",99)),2*99,99))+0,LOOKUP(99,SEARCH(TEXT(1+ROW($A$1:$A$12)*29,"mmmm"),A1,1),ROW($A$1:$A$12)),TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",REPT(" ",99)),",",REPT(" ",99)),99,99))+0)
i have fiscal date MMYYYY that needs to be converted to a date mm/dd/yyyy. Since I don't have date in original data I can use 01 for entire column. I have tried text to columns and have been unsuccessful.
It can also me converted as mm-dd-yyyy or in any order as long as sepearated by - or a /
You have to parse the text. If you have your date as Text formatted 'MMYYYY' in cell A1:
=DATE(RIGHT(A1,4),LEFT(A1,2),1)
I have a text column containing dates in the following fashion:
01:00 Friday 18/11/16
...however, when I format the column as date, time or custom, the existing cells do not format.
I've also tried =DATEVALUE(A2) but it returns a #VALUE! error.
To get the time from this cell:
=LEFT(A2,5)
To get the date from this cell:
=RIGHT(A2,8)
To get the weekday text from this cell:
=RIGHT(LEFT(A2;LEN(A2)-9);LEN(LEFT(A2;LEN(A2)-9))-6)
Alternatively, you can use the date portion to find the weekday directly:
=TEXT(RIGHT(A2,8), "ddd")
OR
=TEXT(RIGHT(A2,8), "dddd")
And to get the weekday in numbers:
=WEEKDAY(RIGHT(A2,8))
You can't use ask excel to parse a no-standard format date. Furthermore, DATEVALUE will drop the time from the value.
What you can do is separate the date and time, parse them separately and add them up:
=DATEVALUE(RIGHT(A1, LEN(A1)-FIND(" ", A1, FIND(" ", A1)+1))) +
TIMEVALUE(MID(A1, 1, FIND(" ", A1)-1))
If the date and time have fixed length, you can replace the FIND with their respective length of 8 and 5.
In MS Excel 2013 I import a CSV file, no matter if I format it using the delimined or any other option the results are the same. My date in Excel looks like: 30 Jan, 15 18:02:05 in a single cell. All I need is to convert it to a date format 30.01.2015 for example. I have a column of these and need to convert the values at once. (I tried TEXT, DATE, MID, DATEVALUE, MONTH, DATEVALUE...) but none of them are able to convert the date format. Also it does not matter if I convert it with format cells...to date it always displays the same i.e. 30 Jan, 15 18:02:05
Not sure what I am doing wrong. Getting a bit frustrating, thanks for any advice. Most of the above give a #VALUE error.
With data in A1 in B1 enter:
=DATEVALUE(LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1) & "-" & MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,3) & "-20" & MID(A1,FIND(",",A1)+2,2))
and format B1 as dd.mm.yyyy for example:
i have this string which is in a date and time format (10/25/2013 8:54:00 PM),i want to extract the time from each cell and sum them to find the total time.
please can someone suggest me how to do it???
Try this formula to extract the time:
=TIME(HOUR(A1),MINUTE(A1),SECOND(A1))
Then, summarize the values and use "d h:mm" number format for the cell.
Assuming your date format is MM\DD\YYYY h:mm:ss AM/PM. Use this formula to extract time value:
=TIMEVALUE(RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-11))
This value is in days. I.e. if there is 6 hours, the value will be 0.25. To get number of hours multiply it by 24.
If your string is a properly-recognised Excel Date/Time format, simply:
=MOD(A1,1)
Format as hh:mm if you wish.
Regards
If you values are in ColumnA (start) and B (corresponding finish) then something like:
=B1-A1
formatted as Time should suit with summing of the results.
