I have an outside Excel report that populates dates in the following
mmddyyyy format: 04172004. I need a method of converting this date into the
format yyyy-mm. I know that I can use the following formula:
=TEXT(B11,"yyyy")&IF(MONTH(B11)=1,"-01",IF(MONTH(B11)=2,"-02",IF(MONTH(B11)=
3,"-03",IF(MONTH(B11)=4,"-04")))) where B11 is the location of the original
date, but I run out of arguments after the fourth IF. What method would
allow all 12 months to be returned? I cannot change the original report, and
I need the new format for pivot table options. Thank you for your help.
