Try this code in your macro...

I need help converting the following to a date & time that excel will
recognize: *Jan *1 2007 *9:00:00:000AM


This data resides in column A and is from a data dump from a read only
database file. *Excel reads it as text.


Thanks in advance for the help.

Works great, thanks! *How can I convert the text to date/time for all
entries in column A?- Hide quoted text -


- Show quoted text -


That would be:

Dim ModifiedDateString As String

for i = 1 to cells(65536,1).end(xlup).row
* ModifiedDateString = Replace(Range("A" & i).Value, ":000", " ")
* Range("A" & i).Value = DateValue(ModifiedDateString) & " " & _
* * * * * * * * * * TimeValue(ModifiedDateString)
next i

Thanks for the support!

This works just fine until I reach a cell with no data, i.e., empty.
Is there a way to modify the code so it will exclude/ignore empty
cells and continue converting the remainder of the column?
