date formatting in excel VBA
I'm trying to convert a text date - time to internal date format, I can do
this fine by copying the column and past special with add to another column and pasting back to the first column. Ive used record macro to create VBA code to do the same, but get american date format 12/07/05 06:02 becomes 7/12/05 and 13/12/05 06:05 returns null. The VBA code created by the macro recorder is as follows :- Sub DateFormatter() ' ' DateFormatter Macro ' Macro recorded 12/7/2005 by Johnsd ' ' Columns("G:G").Select Selection.Copy ActiveWindow.SmallScroll ToRight:=2 Columns("N:N").Select Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlAdd, SkipBlanks:= _ False, Transpose:=False Application.CutCopyMode = False Selection.Cut ActiveWindow.SmallScroll ToRight:=-7 Columns("G:G").Select ActiveSheet.Paste Selection.NumberFormat = "d/m/yyyy h:mm" End Sub -- Can anyone help Thanks in advance DaveJ |

It sounds like your pc wants the date in one format and your data (as text) is
in a different order. I'd insert a couple of helper columns to the right of G (where those date/times are). Then select your range (all of column G?) and do data|text to columns. Choose the correct mdy or dmy for the date and general for the column. Then you can either leave them in different columns (and delete the original) or just add the values (in the original column or one more helper column) and format the way you want.
