    Convert Date format from Text format reading m/d/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy

    Hi There

    Can someone help me convert Date format from Text format reading m/d/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy?

    When I download data, it come out as text and reads in the format m/d/yyyy for example 3/31/2018. I need a formula to convert the data to dd/mm/yyyy for example 31/3/2017.

    Can anybody help?

    Regards

    Ryan

    Hi Ryan,

    See the attached for your answer. You need create a custom format of dd/mm/yyyy and use DateValue on your text.

    You will need to use Text to columns in the DATA ribbon. When you get to step 3 select DMY from the Date drop down. Click Finish.

    At this point only the underlying date value has been restored. Next HOME> Format Numbers Group > Date > Location (locale) drop down. Select English New Zealand.
