Converting text into Date Value
Folks,
Dates in a certain file were typed in an informal manner: i.e. Sep-21-2005.
Now, since this was entered as a text, Excel is not evaluating it as a Date
Format at all (even after I format the cell accordingly). This is what I
have done so far:
I have used the left, mid and right functions to separate out the variables
in 3 distinct columns - Sep (in Col. A), 21 (Col B), 2005 (Col C)
What should I do next? My goal is to present the result as 09/21/2005 (Date
Format). Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Shams.
