How to convert string to a date
I need to do few conversion.
the date in a date field is a string data of this format: 1010230 which indicates 02/30/2001 (101 is 2001) 1051215 indicates 12/15/2005. How can I convert one to the other? Also I have 1010230 that I want to convert to a string of YYYYMMDD and string YYYYMMDD that I want to convert to date format MM/DD/YY Thanks, galsaba |

For the first 2 dates, use:
=--(MID(A1,4,2)&"-"&RIGHT(A1,2)&"-"&MID(A1,2,2)) By the way, 2/30/2001 is not a real date and the formula will produce an error.
