Info:

Dates and times in Excel are saved as numbers and quickly converted into human-readable values ??using number formats. When entering a date in Excel, you can use a number format to display that date as desired. Similarly, you can use the TEXT function to convert a date or time into text in a preferred format. For example, if the date January 9, 2000 is entered in cell A1, you can use TEXT to convert that date to the following text strings as follows :




= TEXT (A1, "mmm") // "Jan"
= TEXT (A1, "dd / mm / yyyy") // "01/01/2020"
= TEXT (A1, "dd-mmm-yy") / / "01-Jan-20"

  13. Currently using DirPrintOK and NewFileTime to replace the creation date of my graphic files with the capture date, which was incorrectly set when copying the files. Everything works very well, but I noticed that the recording date when exporting with DirPrintOK does not exactly match the specification for "Date". When I open the export file in Excel, I noticed that the capture date appears to contain invisible characters. This means I can't use the date for NewFileTime directly. I built a small formula in Excel that "adjusts" the date. After that I can then rename everything as desired. So I have a workaround that works for me, but I wanted to share it with you as you may not be aware of it. Possibly this is also desired and I don't know the reason. I noticed the same behavior when exporting in Q-Dir.?In the Excel file, the import data are marked in green. The cells highlighted in red are the date fields from the green area plus 0?
  14. The results is the date in excel as wrong value and these need to be formatted as date?
  15. How to convert text to date values ​​in Microsoft Excel?
  16. Dates in YYYYMMDD format technology to make different countries date values ​​in Excel?
