Strip time from date time value
Hi,
I've got data that's being read in from a DB in which a timestamp field returns entries with Date Time value (dd-mmm-yyyy hh:mi:ss). In my spreadsheet, user enters search date (dd-mmm-yyyy). I need to obtain a count of the number of entries obtained from the DB that equal to the date specified by the user, however as theres a time value in the data that's coming in from the DB, the comparison fails. How do i strip the time data from the db imported data. Thanks in advance Prem |
Strip time from date time value
Prem,
Another alternative is to test between two values e.g. =IF(AND(A2=DATEVALUE("17-Sep-2003"),A2<DATEVALUE("18-Sep-2003")),"Found","N ot Found") Note the first test is = & the second < to ensure it falls within the period. regards, JohnI "Prem Chandiramani" wrote in message om...
