    Try this:

    =DATE(MID(A1,FIND(",",A1)+2,4),MONTH(DATEVALUE(LEFT(A1,3)&" 1")),MID(A1,5,2))

    Try using text to columns, set the first option to fixed width and use a single column marker after the last digit of the year.

    In the last screen of the options, set the date dropdown to MDY for the first column. Set the second column to 'Do not import / Skip'.

    Apply desired formatting to column A.

    Re: Convert to normal date format

    I just noticed that you asked exactly the same question a year ago, https://www.excelforum.com/excel-gen...te-system.html

    As it has been solved there, why ask again? I could be wrong, but I don't think that there is an expiry date on the duplicate thread rule

    Re: Convert to normal date format

    Looks like this is something you only have to deal with once annually. Please make a note of the solution offered somewhere suitable. Maybe a word document with a READ THIS title in the folder where these annually adjusted workbooks are located.

    Finally, please mark this and the earlier thread as solved. Jason is right about the rule - by rights, this thread should have been closed, however as it is now solved, that action would be moot.

    If that takes care of your original question, please select Thread Tools from the menu link above and mark this and your older thread as SOLVED. Thanks.
