Help with Date Format
 

I need help with data that i have exported from a database.

The date column is in a format i havent seen before

6093 Basically the "6" is for 2006, "093" is 93 days since the first of Jan.

Can someone please help me use the date function to get this into dd/mm/yy
format.

Thanks in advance

What about
=DATE(2000+INT(A1/1000),1,MOD(A1,1000))
or =DATE(2000+LEFT(A1,1),1,MID(A1,2,3)) ?

Try this:

For a value in A1
B1: =DATEVALUE("1/1/"&INT(A1/1000))+MOD(A1,1000)-1

Is that something you can work with?
