Deleting time part of a Date, subtracting dates
Hi I am having problems subtracting dates. Ideally I would like to use the NETWORKDAYS function but the problem I am having is that the file is imported from Oracle and some of the dates include both the date and actual time, for example, 02/01/06 14:20:44. There are 2 spaces between the date and the time. I have tried a combination of the LEFT and LEN functions to remove the time but because this is a text function, it converts all the dates to text. You then need to convert them back to numbers and apply a date format. I am hoping someone can come up with a quick way of changing a date such as 14/06/06 15:23:24, to 14/06/06 so that this is the actual value that shows in the Formula Bar.

Hi Shirley
Try =INT(A1) assuming the data & time are held in cell A1 This will produce just the date. Just in case you did also need to pick out the time, then =MOD(A1,1) -- Regards Roger Govier "Shirley Munro" wrote in message news:Shirley.Munro.29qymn_1150884602.0957@excelfor um-nospam.com...
