    Question Date conversion issue.

    Hi.

    I have seperate sheets for each month of the year and now i want to merge all the sheets into 1 large sheet.
    But my date column in each sheet only had a number denoting the day of the month.

    I have formatted the date column to dd-mmm, but obviously excel does not know what month it is so it defaults the values to Jan.
    How do i first convert the date in each sheet to its relevant month without having to rewrite each date ?

    Thanks
    Iqbal

    Re: Date conversion issue.

    The =DATE() function may help you: https://support.office.com/en-us/art...3-82328b832349

    =DATE(desired year,desired month,cell reference of date)

    I'm not sure if that is "easier" than "rewriting each date", but it might be. It probably depends on how difficult it is to determine the "desired year" and "desired month" parts of the function.
