Change contents of a cell with VBA
Hi everyone, I'm a little stuck and desperate for advice! My brain has turned to mush so now I turn you all for help. :) I have a reference number in a receipting system. eg jd1407051455 The number is made up of two letters (initals of person), date (ddmmyy) and 24 hour time (hhmm). Using VBA I have managed to split the number up so that each piece of information sits in it's own column. (ie Column A = name, B = date, C = time). This was done by copying, pasting and then deleting irrelevant characters. I now need to use VBA to insert the seperators so that excel recognises these numbers as dates and times respectively. eg. Instead of 140705 in a cell, I need 14/07/05 and instead of 1455 I need 14:55. I am at a complete loss as to how this can work. Just to throw a spanner in the works - I need to somehow make it work on a complete range (up to 1,000 rows of data) not just single cells. If anyone has any ideas...I will be eternally grateful!
