I have dates in CSV like this
2015-08-04 10:09:25.940
Default Excel representation of this value is
09:25.9
Could you please provide exact steps to force Excel to show something sane?
Right Clic: Format Cell :

I have some dates in my Excel spreadsheet that are in this format to change it to convert to a date format of dd/mm/yyyy, or any form that allows me to sort by date.
How would I be able to do this using a formula? April 1, 2017 = 01/04/2017
Thanks!
P.s. I've looked through the question: How to convert the text to date format in excel
It looked similar, but the formula doesn't work even when I take out the timevalue portion.
If the "date" is being read as text, and your "date" format will always be mmmm d, yyyy, you can try the following (assuming cell A1 has the "date"):
=DATE(RIGHT(A1,4),MONTH(LEFT(A1,3)&1),MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,FIND(",",a1)-FIND(" ",A1)-1))
After which, you can just set a custom dd/mm/yyyy format to that date. OR you can enclose the formula above in a TEXT() function:
=TEXT(DATE(RIGHT(A1,4),MONTH(LEFT(A1,3)&1),MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,FIND(",",a1)-FIND(" ",A1)-1)),"dd/mm/yyyy")
What I would recommend, however, is using the first formula and setting a custom format.
How do I convert time in excel from 2017-04-03T12:16:27.961Z format to a DD-MMM-YY format
I am trying to convert data from CA Agile into excel so that i can depict changes over time. Right now I am forced to manually change the format instead of using an automated way.
Use this formula, then format as you wish:
=--SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"T"," "),"Z","")
Try this formula and format the cell with dd-mmm-yy ,
=DATEVALUE(TEXT(LEFT(A1,10),"dd-mmm-yy"))
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 have a date column with YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS AM/PM format in Excel file(xlsx).
But when I am trying to save it in CSV format then the values in date column converts to MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM .
But I want to keep the values in the same format.
Please help me to solve this and Thanks in advance.
Use Custom format as yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss AM/PM in Type text box and save as csv should work
This is a well known problem with CSVs. You can't provide any sort of formatting information about the column to excel, and so it takes liberties with dates. One way around it is to trick excel into processing the column as a string value, instead of a date value, by wrapping it in ="", so an example csv might look like this:
Sample.csv
Name,Date,Note
Foo,="2014/12/03 12:14:15 AM",Bla
Bar,="2012/11/13 3:14:15 PM",Bla Bla
Excel will preserve the date format because it will process it as a string value, so it will not modify it in any way.
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.

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.
