My guess is that F13 isn't actually a date in Excel terms, but a number like
25122008 being used to represent a date.

Let's look at the first
Suppose F13 hole 12345678
MOD(F13,10^6) says divide F13 by 1 million and return the remainder: you
get 345678
MOD(F13,10^4) says divide F13 by 10,000 and return the remainder; you get
5678
The we subtract to get 340000; then divide by 10,000 to get 34

In the second one we find MOD(F13,10^4) again = 5678
Multiply by 100: 567800

Then we add this to the first answer: 567834

Not sure why you would want this but that is what they do

best wishes

Hi everyone,

Is there any chance that some kind soul could tell me what these 2
formulae
are doing please?

F13 is a date

=(MOD(F13,10^6)-MOD(F13,10^4))/10000

=(MOD(F13,10^6)-MOD(F13,10^4))/10000+MOD(F13,10^4)*100

Thank you very much
