I need to convert the date format DD/MM/YYYY to DD/MM/YY using formulas in Excel. The key thing is that it can't be in "text" format after the formula is done.
I have tried with
= IF( CELL("type", $A2) = "v", $A2, VALUE(DAY(DATEVALUE($A2))&"/"&MONTH(DATEVALUE($A2))&"/"&YEAR(DATEVALUE($A2))-2000))
where cell A2 has the text "15/11/2019". My goal is to convert it into 15/10/19 (Excel DATEVALUE and VALUE functions keeps converting 19 into 2019).
Any help is much appreciated.
An actual date in Excel (not text that looks like a date) is stored as a number.
It is the number of days since 1/1/1900.
What you see is just this number formatted in a user readable way.
To change this custom formatting from DD/MM/YYYY to DD/MM/YY, got to the formatting menu on the "Home" tab:
And select "More Number Formats". Then select "Custom", and enter "dd/mm/yy" in the "Type:" field and click OK:
I have this cell in Excel 2013. The contents of the cell is;
=xlqChangePercent($D2,$AP$1)
This function returns 1.00 which is displayed in the cell. I want this cell to display 1.00%. I tried =xlqChangePercent($D2,$AP$1)% but the cell becomes 0.01. How do I get the cell to display 1.00%?
Either append /100 to your formula and format % (retains content as a number) or format the cell with a custom format of:
#.00"%"
which results in a text string.
Format the cell to percentage - either use the menu or right-click on the cell and choose format.
How can i convert in excel 2013 column data format from 'yyyymmdd hhmm' to yyyy-mm-dd
Click on any cell in the column and run this macro:
Sub DateFormat()
With ActiveCell.EntireColumn.Cells
.NumberFormat = "yyyy-mm-dd"
End With
End Sub
Firstly, click on the top of the column to select all of the cells within that column, then right click on a random cell within that column and click 'Format Cells', from here a box will show up.
The box will have all different format rules, and by default it should be on the 'Number' tab within the box, from here select 'Date' and then you will be able to select the appropriate type of date format from here that you wish to have.
For your case you should see one corresponding to your yyyy-mm--dd format
If it is text-to-text: =LEFT(A1,4)&"-"&MID(A1,5,2)&"-"&MID(A1,7,2) (split and rejoin the string)
If it is date-to-text: =TEXT(A1,"yyyy-mm-dd")
If it is text-to-date, make a date with: =DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MID(A1,5,2),MID(A1,7,2)) (split the string and give the parts to the DATE function) ...
... to show date type cells in a different format, use methods above (if you don't have yyyy-mm-dd in your "Date" options, you can type it in under "Custom")
I have imported some dates into an excel document and I need to format them as dates not text strings.
The format is like this: 12.05.79 but when I set the format to date excel doesn't do anything.
Any way to do this?

Two possible ways to convert "in situ" without an extra column
1 - use "Text to columns"
Select column of dates then Data > text to columns > Next > Next > "under column data format" select "Date" and the format from dropdown (MDY or DMY) > OK
2 - use Edit/Replace. Replace "." with "/" (in both cases without quotes)
Changing the format doesn't change the value (or in this case text). You'll have to use a macro, or just use a helper column with the following formula. You can then copy / paste values and remove the first column
=DATEVALUE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,".","/"))
I have been searching for about an hour on how to do this in Excel.
I have an Excel file that was created from an old system and I am pulling information from a SQL Server Database, I will be inputting the information back into the SQL Server Database and would like the Dates to match.
I have tried Creating a Custom Format, but I am unsure if I even did it Correctly. I found several places where they want to go the other way mm/dd/yyyy to yyyymmdd but they have not been helpful.
I am unfamiliar with using VBA in any Microsoft Products otherwise I am sure that this would be a simple Task.
I have two separate columns that need to be changed.
How do I Format the entire column from (float)yyyymmdd to a (Date)mm/dd/yyyy
You can convert the value to a date using a formula like this, next to the cell:
=DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MID(A1,5,2),RIGHT(A1,2))
Where A1 is the field you need to convert.
Alternatively, you could use this code in VBA:
Sub ConvertYYYYMMDDToDate()
Dim c As Range
For Each c In Selection.Cells
c.Value = DateSerial(Left(c.Value, 4), Mid(c.Value, 5, 2), Right(c.Value, 2))
'Following line added only to enforce the format.
c.NumberFormat = "mm/dd/yyyy"
Next
End Sub
Just highlight any cells you want fixed and run the code.
Note as RJohnson mentioned in the comments, this code will error if one of your selected cells is empty. You can add a condition on c.value to skip the update if it is blank.
Do you have ROWS of data (horizontal) as you stated or COLUMNS (vertical)?
If it's the latter you can use "Text to columns" functionality to convert a whole column "in situ" - to do that:
Select column > Data > Text to columns > Next > Next > Choose "Date" under "column data format" and "YMD" from dropdown > Finish
....otherwise you can convert with a formula by using
=TEXT(A1,"0000-00-00")+0
and format in required date format
Here is a bare bones version:
Let's say that you have a date in Cell A1 in the format you described. For example: 19760210.
Then this formula will give you the date you want:
=DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MID(A1,5,2),RIGHT(A1,2)).
On my system (Excel 2010) it works with strings or floats.
for converting dd/mm/yyyy to mm/dd/yyyy
=DATE(RIGHT(a1,4),MID(a1,4,2),LEFT(a1,2))
Found another (manual) answer which worked well for me
Select the column.
Choose Data tab
Text to Columns - opens new box
(choose Delimited), Next
(uncheck all boxes, use "none" for text qualifier), Next
use the ymd option from the Date dropdown.
Click Finish
