  • The first thing to check is if your data actually in date format (ddd, mmm dd, yyyy) and let us know

  • The dates are really like this, but excel see it like a "text" format. That's why it's hard to change the format, it doesn't understand that it's a date. So, my aim problem is not how about the final format will be, but just that excel recognise it like a date...

You can use MATCH to return the correct month:



=DATE(RIGHT(A1,4),MATCH(TRIM(MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,3)),{"Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"},0),MID(A1,FIND("}}}",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","}}}",2))+1,2))

  • Open the VBE and in the immediate window put: Activesheet.RAnge("B2").Formula = "=DATE(RIGHT(A1,4),MATCH(TRIM(MID(A1,FIND("" "",A1)+1,3)),{""Jan"",""Feb"",""Mar"",""Apr"",""May"",""Jun"",""Jul"",""Aug"",""Sep"",""Oct"",""Nov"",""Dec""},0),MID(A1,FIND(""}}}"",SUBSTITUTE(A1,"" "",""}}}"",2))+1,2))" and hit enter. It will put the formula in B1 of the activesheet and make the translation.

To convert your text into a date, you can use this formula (assuming the date in text format is in cell C15):



=DATE(RIGHT(C15,4),IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Jan"),01,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Feb"),02,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Mar"),03,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Apr"),04,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"May"),05,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Jun"),06,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Jul"),07,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Aug"),08,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Sep"),09,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Oct"),10,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Nov"),11,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Dec"),12)))))))))))),MID(C15,10,2))


Then you get an Excel date that is easier to work with.
