Converting Text to Date using "Text to Columns"
Hi all,
I have a few columns of date in excel which is imported from external data source. It is shown as text in Excel. Some sample of the data are like - 240708 (which is 24th July 2008) - 10208 (which is 1 Feb 2008) However, when I use the Text to Columns/Date(DMY) function to convert them date, the following results is given - 240708 -- 24/07/08 (correct) - 10208 -- 2/10/08(INCORRECT) I tried with Text to Columns/Date(MDY), then - 240708 -- 240708 (nothing happen) - 10208 -- 1/02/08(correct) Is there any method in Excel I can use to convert this text to date? They come in a mix of 5 and 6 digits. Please help... Thank you. -- Kahoko Tsuki. |
