Hey all,
So imported 100k sales figures from Oracle for Oct and Nov but the day overran and month didn't change.
EX: 2012-10-32 instead of 2012-11-01. So I now have dates ranging from 2012-10-01 to 2012-10-59.
So trying to do date analysis is impossible.
How can I convert? any ideas?
Cheers,
B
You can convert in another column, e.g. if dates start at A2 use this formula in B2 and fill down
=IF(ISNUMBER(A2+0),A2+0,DATE(LEFT(A2,4),MID(A2,6,2),RIGHT(A2,2)))
format dates as required

Audere est facere
THanks.... sorry forgot to add the full cell format 2012-10-59 23:52:59 full time stamp.
Works great, how can I keep time stamp - not essential but nice to have :-)
It works perfectly. sorry my mistake. Even with time.
Great, Thanks!!!

Use code tags when posting your VBA code: [code] Your code here [/code]
If you use the formula I suggested and you also have the time in there then you'll get an incorrect date in most instances. This version should convert correctly and retain the time
=IF(ISNUMBER(A2+0),A2+0,DATE(LEFT(A2,4),MID(A2,6,2),MID(A2,9,2))+RIGHT(A2,8))
