Change Mar 25 in to Date?
Howdy, for some reason I just can't get this to work. I have an imported
spreadsheet with about 30,000 rows of data... but the dates are put in as Tue Mar 25. So I parsed out all the dates to get for example Mar 25. Now I can't seem to figure out how to get that in to a date format. So the sample data looks like this Mar 25 Mar 28 Apr 3 I would like it to show up like this with a date format 3/25/2008 3/28/2008 4/3/2008 Any help will be appreciated... thanks! |

Do a DataText To Columns, and hit Next twice, and select the date option in
Column data format. -- --- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "akphidelt" wrote in message ... Howdy, for some reason I just can't get this to work.

tabDateselect the format you want and OK. "akphidelt" wrote: Howdy, for some reason I just can't get this to work.

Change Mar 25 in to Date?
This works for me using U.S. English regional date settings:
=DATEVALUE(A1) Then format as DATE. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "akphidelt" wrote in message ... Howdy, for some reason I just can't get this to work.

You're welcome!
BTW, Bob's suggestion of using Text to Columns also works. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "akphidelt" wrote in message ... Can't believe it was that easy... thanks Mr. Valko! "T.
