A friendly hello to the round with my first post! I'm quite a beginner in Excel and would really appreciate your help!
How can I convert a text string like the one below into a date/time format? Thanks for any help!

Welcome to the forum.
Is the text with or without the square brackets?
Try this if without:
=DATEVALUE(TEXTBEFORE(O2," ",3))+TIMEVALUE(TEXTAFTER(O2," ",4))
where O2 contains the text string.
For your Swiss locale (Swiss French?):
=DATEVAL(TEXTBEFORE(O2;" ";3))+TEMPSVAL(TEXTAFTER(O2;" ";4))

Outstanding! A thousand thanks for the quick feedback. I will try this and write again ...
Unfortunately, I got an error message. From German to English:Attachment 838397
Ins Deutsche übersetzt:
=DATWERT(TEXTBEFORE(O2;" ";3))+ZEITWERT(TEXTAFTER(O2;" ";4))
Now it works! I have copied the formula from your Excel file and now it works wonderfully. I am overjoyed! Thank you very much for the quick and perfect help!
Glad to have helped.
