convert string to date
I am sorry I did not make myself clear in the first post.
My cell's formular is =CONCATENATE(MID(B3,6,2),"-",MID(B3,1,3),"-",MID(B3,10,2)), which is equal to 08-Mar-06, but it is a string. How can I make it to a date in the cell? Thanks.

Multiply your formula by 1. =CONCATENATE(MID(B3,6,2),"-",MID(B3,1,3),"-",MID(B3,10,2))*1 HTH Steve -- SteveG ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SteveG's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=7571 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=517994 |
