Date Conversion
Hello,
I've done a search and not able to find what I need. I need 20080107 to look like 01-Jan-08. I've tried everything I can think of. Also, doing format cells gives me #### stating negative dates are displayed as #####. Thank you! |

I need 20080107 to look like 01-Jan-08.
Shouldn't that be 07-Jan-08? Select the cell(s) in question Goto the menu DataText to Columns Click Next twice Column data format: DateYMD Click Finish Now, format the cell(s) in the DATE format of your choice. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Toria" wrote in message ...
