Date Format
Select the column
Data|text to columns (xl2003 menus) fixed width, but don't add any lines and remove all that excel guessed. Choose date YMD (or YDM if that sample was 2008-Feb-04) And format the cell using the nice date format you like. aozora wrote: Hi all, I have the column of date in general/text format as "20080402", how can i change it into date format, is there any format to change directly?

Date Format
As your original data is in text format , pl use following formula.
=DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MID(A1,5,2),RIGHT(A1,2)) -- HARSHAWARDHAN.S.SHASTRI Pl do not forget to press "YES" button if post found useful.

Here is a formula that is a little shorter and with 3 less function calls...
=--TEXT(A1,"0000-00-00") -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "HARSHAWARDHAN. S .SHASTRI" wrote in message ...
