Splitting Year from Dates
Hello,
How do I split the year from a date. Example I will need to extract 2/23 and leave out 1978. The purpose is so that viewers can not reformat the text to find out the year. |

=MONTH(A1)&"/"&DAY(A1)
Then you could Copy & Paste Special - Values but this will be text so no calculations are possible or, Maybe Hide column A best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "Mollas" wrote in message ...

Splitting Year from Dates
How do I split the year from a date. Example I will need to extract
2/23 and leave out 1978. The purpose is so that viewers can not reformat the text to find out the year. If dates are in column A, one way is to put this in B1 =IF(ISBLANK(A1),"",TEXT(A1,"m/yy")) and then copy down as far as needed. Then select column B id use Edit Copy Edit Paste special Values Then delete column A. |
