=IF(test,true,false) only ever returns "true"?
A little help please. I have data imported to Excel from a legacy app. Some
DOB is a length of 7, e.g. 1012008 and some DOB is a length of 8, e.g. 11012008. Neither formula following is working for me: =IF( (LEN(B4=8)),(LEFT(B4,2) &"/"& MID(B4,3,2) &"/"& RIGHT(B4,4)), (LEFT(B4,1) &"/"& MID(B4,2,2) &"/"& RIGHT(B4,4)) ) =IF( (LEN(B4=7)), (LEFT(B4,1) &"/"& MID(B4,2,2) &"/"& RIGHT(B4,4)), (LEFT(B4,2) &"/"& MID(B4,3,2) &"/"& RIGHT(B4,4)) ) If I test for a length of eight and the date is 11012008 I get 11/01/2008, which is good. However, if the date is 1012008 I get 10/12/2008, which is not good. If I test for a length of seven and the date is 11012008 I get 1/10/2008, which is not good. However if the date is 1012008 I get 1/01/2008, which is good. It seems I only ever get the "true" formulation. Any thoughts? Thanks. |
