I have a excel sheet with the custom format value 24-09-2019. Some versions of excel sheet supports this format. If the dd-mm-yyyy format is present in the excel sheet the cell type is numeric.
If it is not present then the cell type is string. I need to get the value from the cell.

I have converted my Cube Pivot table to formulas using OLAP Tools > Convert to formulas.
The column labels are dates in UK format, which is fine. The CUBEMEMBER formula is as such:
=CUBEMEMBER("Name of Cube","[Date].[Display Date].&[27/01/2017]")
This is the issue:
If i copy and paste the date 27/01/2017 in this exact format (For example), and paste it above the cell that has the CUBEMEMBER formula, i can succesfully replace the member_expression part with that cell reference in 2 ways:
One: =CUBEMEMBER("Name of Cube","[Date].[Display Date].&["&B8&"]")
Two: =CUBEMEMBER("Name of Cube",B8)
I do not want to have to copy and paste dates, then link to those cells in order for it to work. I want to be able to link to a cell that already has a date in it. The difference is that its not in the EXACT same format as cubemember. Even if i copy the formats of the date, it does not work.
Any guidance??
Dates are stored as numbers in Excel. The way to get the date as you want it is by using TEXT. With Swedish number formats in Windows the date can be shown as text by using this formula:
=TEXT(A1;"ÅÅÅÅ-MM-dd")
the "ÅÅÅÅ" part should probably be "yyyy" or "YYYY" for UK formats and could of course be "dd/MM/yyyy".
I have an Excel workbook that contains numeric values and some of them have been transformed by Excel auto format feature into the date values. I do not know the original numeric values and neither do I have access to the .txt version of that file.
Is there a way to calculate the value from the date? For example, what value was substituted by Excel to get: 08.01.2014.
This is not related to applying VALUE function to the date of changing cell format to "General."
EDIT#1:
If the value '42248' has somehow gotten into A1, then in another cell enter:
=--TEXT(A1,"d.m")
to retrieve the 1.9
I am using Apache POI 3.9 for parsing excel file.
In one of the cell which I am trying to read 'Name' has been used in the formula specified for this cell (formula is sum of value at name cell + value of current cell). These names have been defined in 'Name manager' of excel.
When I am trying to read this value via POI I am getting 'circular`ref'.
Can anyone please advise me on how to read the value of the formula cell where 'name' is used?
Thanks
I'm using Apachi POI 3.9 to process excel sheet. I've set the cell value as "12/2/1990". But when i set the cell value as Java Date instance, it was not properly set. when i open the file i found cell's format has been changed to General. How Can i set Date values (MM/dd/yyyy)in a Cell as Excel Date ??
i have two sheets the first one to call a value from the second sheet, in the first sheet i have
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,'sheet'!B5:'sheet'!I2500,8,FALSE),"")
this works fine for all full text fields
but when i have a date time of
04/26/2013 11:27:00
it converts it to 41390.47708
if i manually edit the cell and put in an apostrophe it is fine but if i try and use a macro or another column to add the apostrophe it changes it to a number and then adds the apostrophe.
is there a way to get the formula to treat the cell as text
When you use a function like VLOOKUP it only retrieves the underlying value from the referenced cell, not the formatting (and display of date and time is achieved by formatting) - can't you just format the cell with the formula in the required format?
Right-click on the cell and choose Format Cells > Number > Custom and type this in the box
mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss
If the formula might retrieve text or a date/time you can still format it that way because the text will be unaffected
