I have entered the date in the excel as 19.04.2015 but now I want the "." in these dates to be replaced with "/", so that the output should be 19/04/2015
Does anyone know the formula for this?
Tutorial to change the date format. The way you should do it is change the data type to date on fields with date then modify date display format.
With data in A1, in B1 enter:
=DATE(RIGHT(A1,4),MID(A1,4,2),LEFT(A1,2))
and apply the correct format to B1
You have to set the cell format to Custom Format using TT/MM/JJJJ

What formula should I try to use to convert date:
Cell A1 = 01/07/2018 00:02:05
to
07/01/2018
I'd just change the date format of the cell Format > Date and find that format, or enter mm/dd/yyyy as a custom format. If you absolutely must use a formula then use TEXT() like so:
=TEXT(DATE(2018,7,1),"mm/dd/yyyy")
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.
I have an export from Active Directory of user accounts in a .csv/Excel where the date created cell is of General format (text?) as follows:
20150903075605.0Z in cell A1 which I need to convert to Date format as MM/DD/YYYY. I believe the text translates into 2015/09/03 but I could be wrong.
What I have tried so far:
Remove the .0Z and it changes to 2.01509E+ 13. Then in the
neighboring cell (B1) I try =DATE(A1) which gives me a #VALUE
Tried =DATE(LEFT(C2,2)+100,MID(C2,3,2),RIGHT(C2,2)) but that gives me
an obscure date of 4/12/2020.
This formula coverts the value in A1 into a true number:
=DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MID(A1,5,2),MID(A1,7,2))
You should apply number formatting to the cells where the formula is used. The number formatting would be: mm/dd/yyyy. In Excel, number formatting is often the best way to deal with dates.
If you need text instead of a true date, then:
=MID(A1,5,2)&"/"&MID(A1,7,2)&"/"&LEFT(A1,4)
let's say that 20150903075605.0Z is contained in cell A1, then you can get the MM/DD/YYYY date format by the following concatenation:
mid(A1, 5, 2) & "/" & mid(A1, 7, 2) & "/" & left(A1, 4)
So here is what I did to fix this. First strip the .0Z out.
Cell A2: 20040330191012 converting this to date (MM/DD/YYYY) in B2 by typing in =DATE(MID(C2,1,4),MID(C2,5,2),MID(C2,7,2)) gives me 3/30/2004.
I am pretty sure this is correct but if one of you guru's can confirm, it would be deeply appreciated.
I have an Excel file which is exported from a Access database.
I have 25000 records and I will need to replace all of them.
The date column is not formatted (yymmdd). I need to change the date format from yymmdd to dd/mm/19yy. For the yy I need to add a constant value 19 in front of it so it would be 19yy.
I have only 1 date column per row
Is there any way to convert all the 25000 record's column formatted in yymmdd to dd/mm/19yy in a few clicks?. Thank you
This will give you the result as an actual date which you can then format as you wish using Excel's date formatting options.
=DATE(1900+LEFT(A1,2), MID(A1,3,2), RIGHT(A1,2))
If you don't need to parse it into a date value, but merely need to display a date in the format you identified, the following will work on a value in cell A1 (copy down to the rest of the 25,000 values as needed:
=RIGHT(A1,2) & "/" & MID(A1,3,2) & "/19" & LEFT(A1,2)
In my cell A1, I entered the value 981116. This formula converted it to 16/11/1998. I think that's what you're looking for, right?
Assuming data starts at A2 put this formula in B2
=(19&TEXT(A1,"00-00-00"))+0
Now format B2 in required date format, e.g. mm/dd/yyyy
and you can easily "fill down" all 25000 rows by doing this:
put cursor on bottom right of B2 (first cell with formula) until you see a black "+" - that's the "fill-handle" - double click and the formula will populate as far down as you have continuous data in the adjacent column
Note: you can probably omit the 19& if all your dates are after 1930 because the default is to treat any date written without the century as 1900s if it's >=30 or 2000s if it's <30 [although you can change that in regional settings]
I have two cells: A1 and B1
A1 has data in format of mm/dd/yyyy
B1 has data in format of hh:mm:ss
When I concatenate the two cells A1 and B1 using VBA, the output contains has the format mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm. Why are the seconds not displaying? How can I fix this?
Note :
a) After concatenation the output is copied to A1.
b) I tried changing the format of date to dd/mm/yyyy, in this case its working fine .
It's hard to tell what you are doing exactly without seeing your code, but I think you are specifying the format of the value you are writing to cell A1: using the VBA Format function you are converting the date-time into a string.
However, to change the way the date is displayed in a cell, you need to change the format of that cell itself (not the format of the value written to it). Otherwise Excel will likely interpret the value in the cell and snap it back to the specified number format for that cell.
You can change the cell's format in the Excel 2010 window like this: Home > Number > Custom > Type: mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss
Or, using VBA:
Range("A1").NumberFormat = "mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss"
Try to change the format of C1 to
mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss
