How to convert text into date format?
In cell a1, it contains text "2024--01-2007", and I would like to convert
into 24-01-2007 for date format. Through this command, RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE("2024--01-2007","--","-"),10) is successfully converted to "24-01-2007", but this text cannot be recognized as a date format. Does anyone have any suggestion on how to convert this text into date format? Thank for any suggestion Eric |

How to convert text into date format?
There's nothing wrong with your formula that I can see. If the quotes are
appearing in the result cell then I'd check the formatting of that cell to ensure that they aren't being put back by a format that's been set up.

How to convert text into date format?
Add a 0 onto the end ie:
=RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE("2024--01-2007","--","-"),10)+0 this takes advantage of Excel's automatic conversion abilities.

How to convert text into date format?
If it return #value! your date format in your computer is not like dd-mm-yyy.
so 24-01-2007 was not date on your computer. Change Date format on your computer by control pannel Regional and Language Option Or You must change 24-01-2007 to your Date format. For example if regional is yyyy/mm/dd you must change your date to 2007/01/24.
