Can anyone help me create a formula to convert the following date and time to:

12102004 5:00 pm ------> 12/10/2004 5:00 pm


thanks
 
Select the column, do data>text to columns
click fixed width, click next, remove the line between 5.00 and pm by double
clicking it, click finish
That will give you one column with the date and one with the time
now select the column with the date, repeat but do not select any delimiter
just click next twice, under column data format select date and MDY, click
finish

Now in a third column do A1+B1 and format it as dd/mm/yy hh:mm


If you need a formula, this might work (not tested extensively, it should
work as long as the days and the years are 2 respectively 4 digits, months
can be one or two digits for Jan-Sep)

=DATE(RIGHT(LEFT(A2,FIND(" ",A2)-1),4),MID(LEFT(A2,FIND("
",A2)-1),LEN(LEFT(A2,FIND(" ",A2)-1))-5,2),LEFT(LEFT(A2,FIND("
",A2)-1),LEN(LEFT(A2,FIND(" ",A2)-1))-6))+TRIM(MID(A2,9,255))

Change the formula to

=DATE(RIGHT(LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1),4),MID(LEFT(A1,FIND("
",A1)-1),LEN(LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1))-5,2),LEFT(LEFT(A1,FIND("
",A1)-1),LEN(LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1))-6))+TRIM(MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1),255))
