Question HI I have a column which contains data in the format :
l3=12/3/2009
l3=23/4/2009
...
...
I need to extract the date part from it...
I do not want to trim the first 3 characters and get the date out of it,,because i need to process the date further..
Is there any function that can accomplish that..
Thanks
Answer Ashish,
There are two steps to get your dates.
Col A Col B
13=11/12/2008 39764 use =DATEVALUE(MID(A1,4,LEN(A1)-3)) to get 39764
13=11/3/2008 39755
13=11/2/2008 39754
Then select all date value cells, select Format Menu, Cells Option, select date format you want.
Another method is you can use VBA code to display date in date format directly. If you want VBA code I need some time to write it.
