Extracting a Date from a YYYYMM number
Hi Guys
I have a column of dates in the format YYYYMM and I want to extract a date from this. Specifically the last day of the month mentioned I was thinking =TEXT(MID(A22,5,2),"MMM") would return me Feb as it is pointing at the '02' the second month. But it returns 'Jan', presumbly becausing it is picking up 2nd of Jan 1900. Then I was going to use something like ="MONTH(E2)+1" to give me the last day of the month. Didn't work out though.... Thanks for reading this far, and for any help you might be able to give me Matt |

Extracting a Date from a YYYYMM number
Try this:
With A YYYYMM value in A1 B1: =DATE(LEFT(D13,4),RIGHT(D13,2)+1,0) Format B1 as a date If A1: 200603 B1 returns 03/31/2006 Is that something you can work with? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "Matt" wrote: Hi Guys I have a column of dates in the format YYYYMM and I want to extract a date from this.

Extracting a Date from a YYYYMM number
=DATE(YEAR(A22),MONTH(A22)+1,0)
this formula will give the last day of the current month in a cell A22. When you try using the TEXT function you are looking at the serial number of the date.

Extracting a Date from a YYYYMM number
Wouldn't it be nice if the formula I posted actually referenced cell A1?
With A YYYYMM value in A1 B1: =DATE(LEFT(A1,4),RIGHT(A1,2)+1,0) Format B1 as a date ------------------ Instead of B1: =DATE(LEFT(D13,4),RIGHT(D13,2)+1,0) ------------------ *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "Ron Coderre" wrote: Try this: With A YYYYMM value in A1 B1: =DATE(LEFT(D13,4),RIGHT(D13,2)+1,0) Format B1 as a date If A1: 200603 B1 returns 03/31/2006 Is that something you can work with? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "Matt" wrote: Hi Guys I have a column of dates in the format YYYYMM and I want to extract a date from this.

Extracting a Date from a YYYYMM number
Thanks Ron
That's just what I needed to crack the problem. In full I used ="Year to "&TEXT(DATE(LEFT(A1,4),RIGHT(A1,2)+1,0),"DD")& " "&TEXT(DATE(LEFT(A1,4),RIGHT(A1,2)+1,0),"MMM") &" "&TEXT(DATE(LEFT(A1,4),RIGHT(A1,2)+1,0),"yyyy" ) Cheers Matt "Ron Coderre" wrote: Wouldn't it be nice if the formula I posted actually referenced cell A1?

Extracting a Date from a YYYYMM number
Maybe you'd like to use something like this, instead?:
="Year to "&TEXT(DATE(LEFT(A1,4),RIGHT(A1,2)+1,0),"dd mmm yyyy") Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "Matt" wrote: Thanks Ron That's just what I needed to crack the problem.
