I have a date in text form that excel is not recognizing as a date and hour like i want it to. Is there a formula to break down this text and then build it back up as the correct date and time?
01.01.2012 08:00:00.000
=DATE(MID(C5,7,4),MID(C5,4,2),LEFT(C5,2)) + TIME(MID(C5,12,2),MID(C5,15,2),MID(C5,18,2))
When the date string is in cell C5

I have a datetime string:
20221025133811 which is -> year month day hour minutes seconds
I want to paste it into an excel cell and make it a date-time object so that
I can subtract it from another date-time. I also want to keep it in the cell as 20221025133811.
I tried formatting the cell as 'Custom' and yyyymmddhhmmss but it doesn't work. How to do this?
i have fiscal date MMYYYY that needs to be converted to a date mm/dd/yyyy. Since I don't have date in original data I can use 01 for entire column. I have tried text to columns and have been unsuccessful.
It can also me converted as mm-dd-yyyy or in any order as long as sepearated by - or a /
You have to parse the text. If you have your date as Text formatted 'MMYYYY' in cell A1:
=DATE(RIGHT(A1,4),LEFT(A1,2),1)
I have a date cell 25/10/2002 in date format with the text format (if i change the format to text) as 37554. How do i pull the months and year values from this.
If i do =RIGHT(cell,4) for the year it pulls out 7554
You can simply use:
=MONTH(cell)
And
=YEAR(cell)
As it should evaluate text just fine.
You can use =TEXT(Cell value,"mm-yyyy") ##will provide you Month and year in MM-YYYY format
In one of the excel cell is the date (say 01.11.2013). I have formated this cell as DDDD so it is displayed as day (for this date it is Friday).
Now I am not able to compare the contents of the cell (actually being displayed as Friday) with string "Friday".
Is it possible? I have used Value(Text) formula and Exact(text, text) formula but it does not helps.
Thanks in advance.
Use TEXT function to compare. For example:
=IF(TEXT(A1,"DDDD")="Friday","Equal","Not")
to compare cell A1 with "Friday"
TEXT function varies by region - you need to use the equivalent of "dddd" for your region....or use WEEKDAY function which doesn't vary
=IF(WEEKDAY(A1)=6,"yes","no")
WEEKDAY returns 1 for Sunday through to 7 for Saturday
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]
