Formatting Date(YY:MM:DD:Time) in Excel

Question

I have an excel file, with a date column, but I want to convert the date column to

YY/MM/DD/Time

Ive been searching for 2 hours and no result y

Answer 1

You could use this method and split the date and time into separate cells:

=DATE((LEFT(A1,4)),(MID(A1,5,2)),MID(A1,7,2))

=TIME(MID(A1,10,2),(MID(A1,12,2)),0)

Once your date value is in a format Excel can recognize, you can then change the formatting to whatever you'd like.

Or if you don't care to have the value in a recognizable date format, you can just get your desired formatting like this (will give you a string that looks like this: YY/MM/DD/Time):

=MID(A1,3,2)&"/"&MID(A1,5,2)&"/"&MID(A1,7,2)&"/"&MID(A1,10,4)
