Unformated Dates
I have a list of dates that will not change into the correct english format what formulae is the best to sort this out. I know len, right, mid and left formulae are used.
RE: Unformated Dates
Hi Emma, thanks for your query.
Here's the formula we looked at in class which converts both 90210 and 100210 into date format. I've broken the syntax of the IF statement up to make it more readable here:
=IF(LEN(A1)=6,
(MID(A1, (LEN(A1)-5),2)) & "/" & (MID(A1, (LEN(A1)-3),2))& "/" & RIGHT(A1,2),
(MID(A1, (LEN(A1)-4),1)) & "/" & (MID(A1, (LEN(A1)-3),2))& "/" & RIGHT(A1,2))
I think you should be able to tease this apart, but let me know if you need any further help with this.
All the best,
Anthony
