I am aware valid dates in Excel begin 1900-01-01 (Jan 1, 1900), but can
anyone explain this?
In cell A2, formatted as Text, is the date 1801-07-02. I would have
thought my formula to convert that from text to a real date would fail,
but it changed it to 3741-07-02 !!
I am not picking on Wilson, but I am making use of his formula with one
difference. He had:
---copy---
=IF(AND(ISNUMBER(VALUE(LEFT(A1,4))),ISNUMBER(VALUE(MID(A1,6,2)));ISNUMBE
R(VALUE(RIGHT(A1,2)))),DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MID(A1,6,2),RIGHT(A1,2)),0)
---End---
I changed it to:
=IF(AND(ISNUMBER(VALUE(LEFT(A1,4))),ISNUMBER(VALUE(MID(A1,6,2)),ISNUMBER
(VALUE(RIGHT(A1,2)))),DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MID(A1,6,2),RIGHT(A1,2)),0)
(I took the semi-colon out and used a comma.) Would my change be
responsible for this date changing?
I am using Excel XP.
Thank you.
Robert
