In addition, is there a way to trim the "CAL" and the ".PDF" in a single formula? Currently I have it as two separate formulas (columns C and D).

Thank you very much.
Enter =MID(E2,4,6) in C2 of your example and copy down. You then don't need column D so it can be deleted. That's your second query dealt with.

I'm still not sure I get what you mean for the first one though. Why do you need to convert the dates to a static value?
