Converting TEXT to Date format
Ok so I have dates that have been written in as
Wednesday, 3 May 2009 not in 03/03/2009 format. Is there anyway of getting excel to recognise this as a date. I have tried to format as a date. (I am trying to use Date FIlters) Thanks in advance |

Converting TEXT to Date format
Try the below formula
=DATEVALUE(MID(A1,FIND(",",A1)+1,20)) OR try DataText to columns with "," delimiter -- Jacob (MVP - Excel) "SarahN" wrote: Ok so I have dates that have been written in as Wednesday, 3 May 2009 not in 03/03/2009 format.
