One fairly easy solution, select the cell/column with the text dates,
do datatext to column, click next twice and under column data format select date and from the dropdown select DMY and click finish, this will change it to a numerical date and then you can just use custom format like dd-mmm-yyyy -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "via135" wrote in message ... sorry! a small correction! if i am having a date in a cell as 30/11/2005 but formatted in text, what's the procedure to change the same to date format as "30-Nov-2005"? thks & regds! via135 via135 Wrote: if i am having a date in a cell as 30/11/2005 but formatted in text, what's the procedure to change the same to date format as "30-Mar-2005"? thks & regds! via135 -- via135 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ via135's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=26725 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=495816 |

Hi Roger,
that would work if the OP is using UK regional settings but not if he uses US since it will return a value error -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Roger Govier" wrote in message ...

if your date is in cell A1 in the next cell type =datevalue(A1), then go to
format--cell-- date--choose type 14-Mar-2001 ( it is the last item). Hope it works. happy Holidays! "Gord Dibben" wrote: Select cell and DataText to ColumnsNextNext Data Format TypeDate DMY Finish.

This won't work if the OP is using US regional settings which I suspect
he/she might do -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Nikki" wrote in message ... if your date is in cell A1 in the next cell type =datevalue(A1), then go to format--cell-- date--choose type 14-Mar-2001 ( it is the last item).
