I have the following dates on my Excel sheet.
02/01/2017
02/02/2017
02/03/2017
02/07/2017
2/15/2017
2/16/2017
I want it to read as Feb 1, Feb 2. etc however Excel reads the dates as January 2, 2017, Feb 02, 2017, March 02, 2017.
How do I do this? Help please.
This is a built in function in Excel. Try from the ribbon above,
Number Group > More Number Formats > Date > Your desired Format
If you're looking for more customizability, try separating them by the / symbol using text to columns function from the Data tab in the ribbon.
This is what I got from punching in your data:
February 1, 2017
February 2, 2017
February 3, 2017
February 7, 2017
February 15, 2017
February 16, 2017

I have a multiple list of dates, where in number of elements are varied.
E.g.
[September 1, 2010, July 1, 2016, July 1, 2022]
[September 1, 2010, July 1, 2016, July 1, 2022, September 2, 2023]
[September 1, 2010, July 1, 2016, July 1, 2022, September 2, 2023, January 1, 2025]
I want to use FormulaMap to subtract the years
2nd date - 1st date, 3rd date - 2nd date, 4th date - 3rd date, 5th date - 4th date
thisRow.[List of Effective Dates].FormulaMap( NextValue - CurrentValue) //doesnt work ( NextValue is not valid)
How will I refer to the next value of the current value of the list ? Or?is there any other way to do it (loop) ?
For example, I have these list of dates (These are of type 'date')
Sept 1, 2010
July 1, 2016
July 1, 2022
The gap years between these dates are 6 years. Another Example:
Sept 1, 2010
July 1, 2012
Sept 1, 2014
July 1, 2016
The gap years between these dates is 2. How will I make a formula to identify the gap years?
You should check out DATEDIF function:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/datedif-function-25dba1a4-2812-480b-84dd-8b32a451b35c
You can create a new column:
Gap_row = Previous Row - Current Row
D2 = IFERROR(IF(D1<0;0;C2-C1);0)
Then create a pivot table for year and show Max(Gap_Row).
The Grand total for Max of Year Gap is the Year Gap for those rows:
Starting at your second date, just do =YEAR(A2)-YEAR(A1)
i am crunching a large dataset. one column is "date". i want to have a column of Invoice Date. for any transaction happened in january, i want the invoice date to be Jan-31-2017...so on and so forth.
Jan 2, 2017 (invoiceDate Jan 31, 2017)
Jan 18, 2017 (invoiceDate Jan 31, 2017)
Feb 5, 2017 (invoiceDate Feb 28,2017)

How to write the If function? thanks.
use the EOMONTH() function
=EOMONTH(A2,0)
I have a text formatted date that looks like this:
June 12th 2017, 9:07am PDT
How can I transform it in a date format (the classic methods Format Cells and DateValue() don't work)?
Thank you.
My solution uses a helper table listing all the 12 months and their serial number at A1:B12
January 1
February 2
March 3
April 4
May 5
June 6
July 7
August 8
September 9
October 10
November 11
December 12
Assuming the value is in D10
Getting the separate elements
Month:
=VLOOKUP(LEFT(D10,FIND(" ",D10)-1),A1:B12,2,FALSE)
Date:
=IFERROR(VALUE(RIGHT(LEFT(D10,FIND(" ",D10)+2),2)),RIGHT(LEFT(D10,FIND(" ",D10)+1),1))
Year:
=RIGHT(LEFT(D10,FIND(",",D10)-1),4)
Hour:
=IF(RIGHT(LEFT(D10,FIND(":",D10)+4),2)="am",RIGHT(LEFT(D10,FIND(":",D10)-1),2),RIGHT(LEFT(D10,FIND(":",D10)-1),2)+12)
Minute:
=RIGHT(LEFT(D10,FIND(":",D10)+2),2)
All this combined in the DATE and TIME function to give a single formula:
=DATE(RIGHT(LEFT(D10,FIND(",",D10)-1),4),VLOOKUP(LEFT(D10,FIND(" ",D10)-1),A1:B12,2,FALSE),IFERROR(VALUE(RIGHT(LEFT(D10,FIND(" ",D10)+2),2)),RIGHT(LEFT(D10,FIND(" ",D10)+1),1)))+TIME(IF(RIGHT(LEFT(D10,FIND(":",D10)+4),2)="am",RIGHT(LEFT(D10,FIND(":",D10)-1),2),RIGHT(LEFT(D10,FIND(":",D10)-1),2)+12),RIGHT(LEFT(D10,FIND(":",D10)+2),2),0)
Then change the format of the cell to:
mmmm dd yyyy hh:mm AM/PM "PDT"
This will give:
June 12 2017 09:07 AM PDT
To add a comma(,), use the custom format:
mmmm dd yyyy"," hh:mm AM/PM "PDT"
Hello I have an excel file that has a date field but what is happening is the date in the spreadsheet shows as mdyyyy (example 5271960 would be 05-27-1960). How does one convert the field in excel?
Right-click on the cell and choose Format Cells.... Here you can either choose an existing Date format, or Custom format it to suit your needs. Settings include:
For days:
d: 9 -> 9, 17 -> 17, ...
dd: 9 -> 09, 17 -> 17, ...
ddd: Day of the Week (Mon, Tue, ...)
dddd: Day of the Week (Monday, Tuesday, ...)
For months:
m: 9 -> 9, 12 -> 12, ...
mm: 9 -> 09, 12 -> 12, ...
mmm: Month (Jan, Feb, ...)
mmmm: Month (January, February, ...)
For years:
y: 2014 -> 14, 2017 -> 17, ...
yy: 2014 -> 14, 2017 -> 17, ...
yyy: 2014 -> 2014, 2017 -> 2017, ...
yyyy: 2014 -> 2014, 2017 -> 2017, ...
Similar formatting holds for time stamps as well.
I suspect your date field is not containing a "real" date but just the string of numbers you show. If it does contain a "real" date, then you can merely custom format it however you wish.
If it contains the value 5271960 or similar, then first convert it to a real date using this formula (assuming your pseudodate is in A1):
=DATE(MOD(A1,10^4),INT(A1/10^6),MOD(INT(A1/10^4),100))
Then custom format the cell to show the date as you prefer.
Another option, if you are only going to be dealing with Excel on machines that are using the US format in the Windows Regional Settings: MDY
=--TEXT(A1,"00\/00\/0000")
This will convert the value to a "real date" and you can then custom format as you wish.
Excel allows to pre-scribe a user defined format for a cell as:
mm-dd-YYYY >> 12-13-2014
mmm-dd-YYYY >> XII-13-2014
mmmm-dd-YYYY >> december-13-2014
If the cell is a genuine Date, then use the Format Cells... Dialog:
If 5271960 is an example of how your dates are showing at the moment then you would use this formula in another cell to get it to 05-27-1960 if this date was in cell A2
=0&(LEFT(A2,1))&"-"&(MID(A2,2,2))&"-"&(RIGHT(A2,4))
Unfortunately, This formula will only work if there are 7 numbers in your 'date' column. If you have 8 Numbers (such as 15271960) you would use this formula in another cell..
=(LEFT(A2,2))&"-"&(MID(A2,3,2))&"-"&(RIGHT(A2,4))
Hope this helps.
