Is it possible to convert to date text like this
2014-10-24-06.59.00.000000
into format like 10/24/2014 6:59 in excel.
=--LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-"," ",3),".",":"),19)
and custom format the cell as
mm/dd/yyyy h:mm
If that doesn't work, there may be some issues with international date settings, and we will need a more complex formula.
=DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MID(A1,6,2),MID(A1,9,2))+TIME(MID(A1,12,2),MID(A1,15,2),MID(A1,17,2))
Try this:
=MID(B3,6,2)&"/"&MID(B3,9,2)&"/"&LEFT(B3,4)&" "&MID(B3,12,2)&":"&MID(B3,15,2)
Where B3 is the cell where you have your text format. i.e 2014-10-24-06.59.00.000000

I have a column of dates with this format (19960124) for instance, and I want to change it to this format (yyyy-MM-dd) on Excel.
I tried all the date formates in Excel, but it gives me #################..etc.
How can I fix this?
Sadly, just changing the format is not good enough.
If you use a Custom Format of:0000-00-00 you get:
But this is not a true date. You need a formula to convert it into a date.
=DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MID(A1,5,2),RIGHT(A1,2))
Assuming your date string is in A2, then try this...
In B2
=DATE(LEFT(A2,4),MID(A2,5,2),RIGHT(A2,2))
And you can then format the formula column with the desired date format.
You can use the Text function to change the date format in the formula itself, but then the date would be considered as a text string not a real date.
Sometimes this happens that Excel refuses the Cell Format command, to get rid from that better use Text command,
=Text(A1, "yyyy - mm-dd")
Drag if required.
ONE more simple example,,
=IF(A3="India",TEXT(C3*53.55,"Rs. #,##0.00"),IF(A3="U.K.",TEXT(C3*0.66,"£ #,##0.00"),IF(A3="Japan",TEXT(C3*99.5,"¥ #,##0.00"),C3)))
I would like to convert the text 01.01.2014 00:00:00.000 to date 01/01/2014.
Any help? Is it possible to do it without using a VBA Macro?
thanks vm.
If it's text in a cell then you should be able to use left() and mid().
=left(A1, 2)&"/"&mid(A1,4,2)&"/"&mid(A1,7,4)
If the text/date is in cell A1.
Excel document.
I have a date value in a cell. Then I have used TEXT function to format this date as a text:
=TEXT(A1;"dd-mm-yyyy")
It works. But does a default value exist for date format? Something like this:
=TEXT(A1;date)
In general, no.
As a workaround, which may work in some cases, you could use =TODAY() in one cell (say, A1), which should have the default date format, and =CELL("format",A1) in A2, which will contain a result given in a table in http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/excel-help/cell-function-HP010062392.aspx.
You would have to inquire about the result being D1 to D5, and then translate it into a suitable format string.
No it doesn't as it would be locale specific. (e.g. US a default could be MM/DD/YYYY, in the UK DD/MM/YYYY. That would make spreadsheets very brittle).
The only standards are ISO-8601 which specifies YYYYMMDD and ISO-8601-Ext which specifies YYYY-MM-DD.
I would suggest you are always explicit with your formatting. In that respect, by not supplying a default, Excel helps.
I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, but please consider my question below.
Using formula in excel, how can I convert the date in 2012:06:28:15:52:32:000 format into
something 6/28/2012 15:52?
If data is in A1 try this formula in B1
=TEXT(LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,":",""),14)+0,"0000-00-00 00\:00\:00")+0
format B1 in required date/time format, i.e. m/d/yyyy hh:mm
I have a date cells which contain the date format with the general. I want to change its cell with the same format like other cells but the problem is if I change it then it will change the entirely format of its cell.
What I've tried so far is within this formula inside of its formatting cells
(mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss)
But I all I want to is just using the same format like the others. Thanks
Check on the file please try to change the value and any helps will be so much helpful

The dates are stored as text
You can use datevalue and timevalue to convert the data to a real date format
in A2, enter =DATEVALUE(A1)+TIMEVALUE(A1) to get a value you can format as you wish
"05/02/2012 16:23:53" 41031.68325
"05/02/2012 16:23:53" 41031.68325
"05/04/2012 08:17:52" 41033.34574
the value displayed in the 2nd column is the excel representation of a date/time - you can then format these how you want, or do calculations to get durations.
