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

I need to try to convert a basic string i.e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd into a date formatted as dd/mm/yyyy where the mm/yyyy part are this current month and year and the day equals the "number" in the cell.
For example
Cell K5 contains the string "1st"
Formula in cell A5 takes K5 and converts to 01/11/2019
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks for the help in advance
Use this to strip the last two characters:
=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-2))
Then format as desired. Mine is mm/dd/yyyy
Do you mean like this:
If so, you have to remove letters from selection then excel will convert them into date. For clarity, remove letters, then convert cells to date format.
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)
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.
In one of the excel cell is the date (say 01.11.2013). I have formated this cell as DDDD so it is displayed as day (for this date it is Friday).
Now I am not able to compare the contents of the cell (actually being displayed as Friday) with string "Friday".
Is it possible? I have used Value(Text) formula and Exact(text, text) formula but it does not helps.
Thanks in advance.
Use TEXT function to compare. For example:
=IF(TEXT(A1,"DDDD")="Friday","Equal","Not")
to compare cell A1 with "Friday"
TEXT function varies by region - you need to use the equivalent of "dddd" for your region....or use WEEKDAY function which doesn't vary
=IF(WEEKDAY(A1)=6,"yes","no")
WEEKDAY returns 1 for Sunday through to 7 for Saturday
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
