Converting data download for date 2.00707E+11 into something more user-friendly
Received a data download into Excel and noted that the date is listed
as "2.00707E+11" [which is basically 200707011300 and includes YYYYMMDDHHMM]. I tried converting it to other date formats but got this "################################################# ################################################## ################################################## ################################################## ################################################## ######" instead. Please HELP. Thanks in advance! |

No, 2.00707E+11 is 2.00707 * 10^11; this is how Excel displays
scientific notation. Try formatting the cell as text?

Converting data download for date 2.00707E+11 into something more user-friendly
Assuming your "date" is in A1, use this formula to split it up:
=DATE(MID(A1,1,4),MID(A1,5,2),MID(A1,7,2)) +TIME(MID(A1,9,2),MID(A1,11,2),0) Format the cell with the formula in as dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm. If you want the date and time in separate columns, you can do this: =DATE(MID(A1,1,4),MID(A1,5,2),MID(A1,7,2)) =TIME(MID(A1,9,2),MID(A1,11,2),0) Format the cells appropriately. Hope this helps.
