Formula to get date from text string
Here's one way:
=--MID(A1,2,8) though this will only work if the date is in the normal format for your region (does it mean 10th January 2009, or 1st October 2009 ?). A safer way might be: =DATE(2000+MID(A1,8,2),MID(A1,5,2),MID(A1,2,2)) or: =DATE(2000+MID(A1,8,2),MID(A1,2,2),MID(A1,5,2)) depending on the answer to my earlier question. Hope this helps.

Hi Sara
One way =--INT((SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A11,"[",""),"PM]",""))) This will return the serial number of the date. Format the cell in whatever date format you wish to see the result -- Regards Roger Govier Sara wrote: This is what the cell currently looks like: [10/01/09 11:30PM] I would like the formula to return only: 10/01/09 Does anyone know what formula I should use?
