Converting Dates
I have a bunch of numbers on an excel file that are this format: 70220. I
would like to convert them to a regular date. I tried just formatting the cells to dates, but it does not work. It should be 2/20/07. Can anyone help? Thanks. |

=DATE(2000+LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-4),MID(A1,LEN(A1)-3,2),RIGHT(A1,2))

Assuming all your dates are 2000 or later
=TEXT(20&TEXT(A1,"000000"),"0000-00-00")+0 format as date "David Biddulph" wrote: =DATE(2000+LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-4),MID(A1,LEN(A1)-3,2),RIGHT(A1,2)) -- David Biddulph "Jacq" wrote in message ...

Try this:
=DATE(LEFT(A1,1)+2000,MID(A1,2,2),RIGHT(A1,2)) "Jacq" wrote: I have a bunch of numbers on an excel file that are this format: 70220. I would like to convert them to a regular date. I tried just formatting the cells to dates, but it does not work. It should be 2/20/07. Can anyone help? Thanks. |
