convert Julian date

I would like to know if there is a function to convert a Julian date (04365)
to a regular date (31 Jan 04). If so, please post! Thank You

Doug

Hi Doug,

But are you sure it isn't 31 Dec 04?

Try pointing this formula at your Julian Date:
I used Cell A1:
=DATE(1999+QUOTIENT(A1,1000),12,31)+MOD(A1,1000)

Does that help?

I used the following to convert JD:
=DATE(INT(B5/1000),1,MOD(B5,1000) with first cell of data being B5.
