convert text to date

[Guest]

I have imported records into Excel and I get date info as text format

02-07-2007 11:14:00.0
02-07-2007 15:33:00.0
03-07-2007 11:16:00.0
29-06-2007 16:02:00.0
02-07-2007 09:54:00.0

How can I convert this to a general date/time format

Cheers

In Data>Text To Columns, select Delimited, and make sure you uncheck space,
then on the Next tab, select the date option, then Finish

You will probably need to reformat the column.

Hi scubadiver,

Did you perhaps lose your thread from a couple of days ago.
Here is a link to it.
