How do I convert dates in Excel?

[Guest]

How do I convert dates from yyyymmdd120000[0:GMT] to mm/dd/yyyy in Excel 2003?

If the date is in A1 try:

=--TEXT(LEFT(A1,14),"0000-00-00 00\:00\:00")

and format the result in mm/dd/yyyy date format.

 

[Bob Phillips]

=DATE(LEFT(A21,4),MID(A21,5,2),MID(A21,7,2))

and format to the required date format.

Format - cell - custom mm/dd/yyyy

u could try using activecell.value=format(activecell.value,mm/dd/yyyy)
or as ur requirement is the normal date format u could just save the value
to a variable declared as date and store it again in the destination cell
