I need a custom format of this number 70226 to show it 02/26/07.
From my database I receive dates in this format #0\/00\/00 so the formula
bar looks like this 70226 and the cell looks like this 7/02/26. I need a custom format of this number 70226 to show it 02/26/07. Can I do this? |

there's no custom formatting that will change 70226 into 02/26/07. You
could use a cell in an adjacent column. For instance, if the value is in A1, then one way: B1: =DATE(2000+LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-4), --MID(A1,LEN(A1)-3,2), --RIGHT(A1,2)) You can then format B1 to mm/dd/yy In article , Forklift guy <Forklift wrote: From my database I receive dates in this format #0\/00\/00 so the formula bar looks like this 70226 and the cell looks like this 7/02/26.
