    Data Profiling/Fidning Patterns Excel Columns

    I'm looking to carry out data profiling against data within excel worksheets

    E.g.

    Column A (Date) has 1000 rows of dates and I would like to know the patterns for this column

    Example

    dd/mm/yy
    /mm/yyyy
    ddmmyy
    d/m/y

    Is there a function or add in which can display the patterns in a column ?

    welcome to the forum, curdave. just follow the guide here:

    CTRL + F and find GetFormat. basically, copy this inside your VBA window:
