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'm trying to convert the timestamp data in Microsoft excel where the timestamp is coming asMM:DD:YYYY hh:mm:ss (12/25/2016 12:00:55 AM).this Formet doesnt support in excel and i wanted to change it to DD:MM:YYYY hh:mm:ss (25/12/2016 12:00:55 AM)
i have seached so many times but all i get is DD:MM:YYYY to MM:DD:YYYY which is not the case.
Either add a column with =MID(B2,4,3) & LEFT(B2,2) & RIGHT(B2,17) where B2 is replaced with your date value cell reference (The formula only works if all dates are in that 22 character format you used as an example).
or
write a macro to amend the values in that column.
I have a date cell 25/10/2002 in date format with the text format (if i change the format to text) as 37554. How do i pull the months and year values from this.
If i do =RIGHT(cell,4) for the year it pulls out 7554
You can simply use:
=MONTH(cell)
And
=YEAR(cell)
As it should evaluate text just fine.
You can use =TEXT(Cell value,"mm-yyyy") ##will provide you Month and year in MM-YYYY format
The day is missing so it just needs to be first of the month so:
11/17 would be 11/01/2017
Is there a formula that can do this?
There is two approaches:
Set the Category type of the cell (in Format Cell) as Custom and define this format in Type field: mm/dd/yyyy
In case of the format cell is text (working with string)
Assuming the validate entered in cell A1, use below formula:
=LEFT(A1,2)&"/01/"&IF(LEN(A1)=8,2,20)&RIGHT(A1,2)
This is probably a stupid formula but it worked for me;
=DATE(100 + RIGHT(TEXT(A6,"MM/YY"),2),LEFT(TEXT(A6,"MM/YY"),2),1)
Try it out it takes the existing "MM/YY" format and converts it to a MM/DD/YYYY date using the date foromula =DATE(Year,Month,Day). It works if the date is in date format or text format.
Currently I exported some data, from a database using a query in which each row for a "comment" column begins with a date formatted as MM/DD/YY.
I used the =LEFT(TEXT,8) function to only extract the date but it happens that the some of the dates are formatted inconsistently so we may have some that are M/D/YY where the month or day isn't two digits, this will then include a ';' as a separator since it is less than 8 characters.
Is there a way I can format the text so the ';' is excluded? That way I can sort the data.
I think the DATEVALUE function does most of what you need. It takes in many different date formats (M/D/YYYY, MM/DD/YYYY etc) and converts it to an excel date (i.e. # of days since 1/1/1900).
The formula below says:
If the date is clean then just apply DATEVALUE function
If there is an error, just use the part to the left of the ';'
Assuming 9/1/2013 is Cell A2:
Input Data Sortable Excel Date
---------- -------------------
9/1/2013; =IFERROR(DATEVALUE(A2),DATEVALUE(LEFT(A2,FIND(";",A2)-1)))
09/2/2013; 9/2/2013
10/1/2013; 10/1/2013
10/10/2013 10/10/2013
I've made a live Excel sample here.
Assuming your text looks like this: ;1/;2/13 or 1/2/13;; or ;;1/2/13
You can use substitute like this:
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,";","")
The result will be:
So if date is either the first 6, 7 or 8 characters of A2 you can get the date with this formula
=LOOKUP(10^10,LEFT(A2,{6,7,8})+0)
format result cell in required date format
As the result is a valid date you can sort these as you would sort numbers
I have a date in text form that excel is not recognizing as a date and hour like i want it to. Is there a formula to break down this text and then build it back up as the correct date and time?
01.01.2012 08:00:00.000
=DATE(MID(C5,7,4),MID(C5,4,2),LEFT(C5,2)) + TIME(MID(C5,12,2),MID(C5,15,2),MID(C5,18,2))
When the date string is in cell C5
