VBA string with milliseconds to date

Question

I have a string in the form \"yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.mmm\" (where the end is milliseconds)

I\'d like to convert it to a number, preferably a Date

Answer 1

Use the Left$ function to trim the decimal point and milliseconds:

Dim dateValue As Date
dateValue = CDate(Left$("2017-12-23 10:29:15.223", 19))
