I have some dates in a column in Excel displayed as:
"14-Dec" "14-Jul" etc
and in the formula bar showing as 12/14/2015, 7/14/2015.
The date is supposed to be 2014-Dec and 2014-Jul.
Is there a way in which I can change it to 2014-12-01?
Use a custom format of:
yyyy-mm"-01"

I want to filter a date in Excel worksheet using "Equals" and date picker.
Example: I want to filter a date which is 6 April 2022.
The filter work if I use the selection (tick) from the criteria list:
But when I tried to use the the menu option "Equals...."
and use the date picker and select for 6 April 2022,
it returns nothing as seen in the image below:
If I choose the "Before.. / After... / Between..." from the menu option
and use the date picker (or just write 6-apr-22 in the input box), it filter the date as expected.
My question:
Is there any setting which I should change in order that the date picker for the "Equals..." in the Date Filter menu option can work properly ?
if I don't use the date picker, how should I type the date in the input box for the "Equals" ? I've tried 04/06/2022 .... 06/04/2022 ... 6-April-2022 .... 2022-04-06 .... 2022/06/04 ... April-6-2022, but also returns nothing.
FYI, the date setting in my computer is set to dd-mmm-yy
and the date column (TGL) on the worksheet is date formatted (dd-mmm-yy),
while in the formula box it show dd-mm-yy for the cell value.
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advanced.
UPDATE:
Just now I've tried by making a pivot table and use that date column as the data source.
Weird, in the pivot table I can filter the date with "Equal" and date picker.
Here is the link for the file :

The reason is the format of cells (you are using a custom one instead the default date one). If you change the format to defaul date one it will work:
Anyways if you need to filter using this custom format, you can use the option equal using exactly what you see in the cell 06-abr-22 Any other option won't work
Trying to calculate age from date of birth (which is inputted by other users), however when someone enters the date with dots in between (i.e. 13.02.2000) the function doesn't work.
The function I'm using to calculate age is: =(TODAY()-D7)/365.25 Where D7 contains the DoB.
Would like the date in other formats to be changed automatically, without the need for an extra column.
I've tried using Format Cells, however it doesn't work.
One method is to use Data Validation:
Select the cell(s) where the date(s) will be entered
Data-->Validation
Allow Date
Data: between (or anything else that will be ok with various dates)
Insert an appropriate range
You can try the following formula. But note this will work only for normal dates and also for the scenario where a date is entered as text using dots as the delimiter:
=(TODAY()- IF(ISTEXT(D7),VALUE(SUBSTITUTE(D7,".","/")),D7) )/365.25
I have been searching it for an hour but unfortunately nothing found that actually work. I have an excel sheet with a column having date in it. Current date format is dd.mm.yyyy but I want to change date format to yyyy/mm/dd for entire cell.
OPTION 1)
Assuming that you source date that is in the number format dd.mm.yyyy stored as an excel date serial and only formatted to display as dd.mm.yyyy then the best fix is to select the cells you want to modify. Go to your home tab, and select the number format and change it to General. See Green circles in image below. IF the format is already set to general, or when you switch it to general your numbers do not change, then it is most likely that your date in dd.mm.yyyy format is actually text. and will needed to be converted as per OPTION 2 below. However, if the number does change when you set it to general, select the arrow in the bottom right corner of the number area (see red circle).
After clicking the arrow in the red circle you should see a screen similar to the one below:
Select Custom from the category list on the left, and then in the Type bar enter the format you want which is yyyy/mm/dd.
OPTION 2
=date(Right(A1,4),mid(A1,4,2),left(A1,2))
This assumes your original date is a string stored in A1, and converts the string to a date serial in the form excel stores dates in.1 You can copy this formula down beside you dates. You can then apply cell formatting for the date as described above, or use the build short or long date if that style matches your needs.
1Excel counts the number of days since January 0 1900 for the windows version of excel. I believe mac is 1904 or 1905.
The problem is that your date is a text string, so changing the cell number format won't have any effect.
One method of convert the dates in place to "real" dates is to use the Text to Columns wizard.
Select your date(s).
Select the Text to Columns option on the Data Tools Tab of the Data Ribbon:
At Step 1, select "Fixed Width" then "Next"
Step 2 is irrelevant
At Step 3, for the date column, select DMY as the format. You can also select the "Destination" if you want the results written elsewhere.
Then "Finish".
That's it. Your dates will be converted in place
Since your dates are now "real" Excel dates, you can use the Cell ► Number Format dialog to change the format to whatever you want.
Nothing wrong with your format i.e. yyyy/mm/dd. You can use:
=TEXT(A1,"yyyy/mm/dd")
Update
A comment was made on this question re the TEXT function converting a date-serial to text. It will still be possible to apply date functions to the output of the TEXT function and get an output. E.g. here we can see WEEKDAY returning a result on the value of B1 (which in turn is formatting A1):
You are making this way too complicated. Just use the DATE(year,month,day) function and switch the DAY() and YEAR() inside it.
If in cell A1 you have a European-style date in this format: 12-04-2017; Excel will interpret this as Dec 4, 2017.
Excel will interpret it properly as Apr 12, 2017 if you change it to the American-style of 04-22-2017 by writing this equation in another cell: "=DATE(YEAR(A1),DAY(A1),MONTH(A1))".
(I put the DAY() in the month spot and the MONTH() in the day spot.)
Now you can use any date format you want.
I use 'substitute' to replace the '.' with a '/'.
Then use the date format to get the correct format.
I am having Dates in Text format in Excel in below format. Can you please suggest how to change it using Excel formula to a Custom format.
The format which I got for one of my report as:
20141214
20141215
20141216
20141217
20141218
20141219
20141220
20141221
20141222
20141223
and so on..
I need to convert it to format as 12-DEC-14 (i.e. DD-MMM-YY format).
Can you please help me with this?
Assuming that your first date is in A1, use
=DATE(LEFT(A1,4),LEFT(RIGHT(A1,4),2),RIGHT(A1,2))
Once you have it as a date, right click on the cell and choose "Format Cell", then choose "Date", and pick your favorite Date format from the list that appears.
I Have 1 Column where there dates are not Uniform.
I am using as a ref to derive one Column.
the date in column is
17/09/2010 i am changing the this format to 09/17/2010 by using =MID(H3,4,3)& MID(H3,1,3)&MID(H3,7,4).
But there are some dates Which are like 9/3/2007 now i want a formula to match all the dates.
Please Help me in this.
I'm assuming that, due to your regional settings, 17/09/2010 isn't recognised as a date and 9/3/2007 is recognised as March 9th, while you want September 3rd.
If you treat your input as text, you can parse it properly into a date with this formula, which I just tested:
=DATE(MID(H3,FIND("/",H3,4)+1,4),
MID(H3,FIND("/",H3)+1,FIND("/",H3,4)-FIND("/",H3)-1),
LEFT(H3,FIND("/",H3)-1))
Make sure H3 is formatted as Text, else the string functions (MID, LEFT) risk not working as expected. The cell containing that formula should be formatted as Date: mm/dd/yyyy.
why not change the cell property of the whole column to User Defined like mm/dd/yyyy
