A family of Microsoft spreadsheet software with tools for analyzing, charting, and communicating data.
Hi Ashish,
I have a worksheet that has a collection of dates and times in one column that were consolidated from multiple worksheets. They appear to be in three distinct formats: one format is DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM (e.g. 14/09/2013 22:30); one format is MM/DD/YY HH:MM AM/PM (e.g. 09/14/13 10:30 PM); and, the last format is MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM (e.g. 09/17/13 15:30). How can I change that so that they all have the DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM format?
These values are pre-formatted as Text values and are not responding to re-formatting to fix the problem.
Regards,
