Deleting time part of a Date, subtracting dates

[Shirley Munro]

Hi

I am having problems subtracting dates. Ideally I would like to us
the NETWORKDAYS function but the problem I am having is that the fil
is imported from Oracle and some of the dates include both the date an
actual time, for example, 02/01/06 14:20:44. There are 2 spaces betwee
the date and the time. I have tried a combination of the LEFT and LE
functions to remove the time but because this is a text function, i
converts all the dates to text. You then need to convert them back t
numbers and apply a date format. I am hoping someone can come up wit
a quick way of changing a date such as 14/06/06 15:23:24, to 14/06/0
so that this is the actual value that shows in the Formula Bar.

Thanks

=INT(A1) will strip off teh time part of A1, keeping just date

Hi Shirley

Try
=INT(A1)
assuming the data & time are held in cell A1
This will produce just the date.
Just in case you did also need to pick out the time, then
=MOD(A1,1)
