Multiple date formats in a worksheet
I have two date fields in a worksheet, the dates are in multiple different formats. When I try and convert the date fields to text some are represented as 12/16/2008 and others are represented as 39753.
What is a simple way to convert all the dates into the same format e.g. 12/16/2008, so I can then do some date comparison functions such as Days 360.
Btw, there are over 40 000 rows of data in the worksheet
Thanks
Richard
RE: multiple date formats in a worksheet
Hello Richard
Thank you for your question
In a seperate column try this formula:
=TEXT(C4,"dd/mm/yyyy")
C4 is the original date field so you will need to change this to whatever cell the original date field is in. Also, have you tried formatting the original column as date rather than text?
If this resolves your question, please mark it as resolved. If not, please reply with more information.
Kind regards
Cress
