    Date Formatting - data from bank statement

    Hi all

    Your help would be much appreciated.

    My bank statement shows dates in a weird format: 2018-05-13T13:53:50Z
    I've used a series of formulae to convert this to standard UK format: 13/05/2018
    I want it to be formatted as a date: 13 May 2018

    However changing the formatting does nothing. The only way I can get this to show is to copy the cell, special paste value, then click in the formula bar for this cell, then click ENTER

    I would have to go through every single entry (Over 3000), click in the formula bar, click enter...

    Is there a way around this?

    Thanks so much

    Alex

    Probably your formulas change the value not to date: 13/05/2018 but to a text, which only luooks like a date.
    To change it to a real excel date enclose your formula within DATEVALUE
    so it will now look like:

    That is text as you receive it, not a date, so just add a column with a formula

    format as required and copy down.

    I take it that "T" and what follows is the time and will always be in the same position.

    If that is the case also try
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    and then Custom format d mmmm yyyy

    Try this

    =SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"T"," "),"Z","")+0

    Format as Custom: d/mm/yyyy

    This is the formula I ended up going with

    =DATEVALUE(MID(L2,9,2)&"/"&MID(L2,6,2)&"/"&LEFT(L2,4))

    Glad to hear so, and thanks for reputation.

    It would be lovely if you could mark thread as Solved.
    Above your first post you will find "Thread Tools" to do it.

    Best,

    Kaper
