Trying to convert a date in text format to date or numeric

I've been given an excel file of members of a group, which includes listing of members' birthdays.  These are in the format "26-Jul" in text characters.  In order to sort by date for a birthday listing, I'm stuck trying to set up a calculation that would transform this to mmdd format that could be sorted on the month then the day. (no year is provided).
Any tips or steps to create this would be very helpful.
thanks,
-Tod

Hi Tod,
What works on my machine is this:
The "dates" in column A are text.
The formula in column B, filled down through rest of the column:
=RIGHT("0"&MONTH(A),2)&RIGHT("0"&DAY(A),2)
Then you can sort on column B.

  • Convert mm/dd/yyyy text format to date format

    I imported a csv file and the date column is in text format.  How do I convert it from m/d/yyyy text format to yyyy-mm-dd DATE format in Numbers v 3.1?
    Thanks for any help you can give!

    UPDATE: I found that your formula didnt produce the correct result
    It changed mm/dd/yyyy to yyyy/dd/mm — rather than the desired yyyy/mm/dd
    By hacking at it, I found that changing the D column formulas around fixed this.
    Your original function:
    D2=RIGHT(A2,4)&"-"&MID(A2, B2+1, C2−B2−1)&"-"&LEFT(A2,B2−1)
    Changed:
    D2 =RIGHT(A2,4)&"-"&LEFT(A2,B2−1)&"-"&+MID(A2, B2+1, C2−B2−1)

  • Updating date in text format to date field

    I have 2 Strings which represent the date and time respectively. I need to load these into a date field. Every way I have tried has failed. Can anyone tell me how to get these Strings into the date field?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Assuming these strings are in definite format concatenate them and use function to_date
    For example if your date is 01-JAN-2000 and time 22:33-34
    then use to_date('01-JAN-2000' | | '22:33-34', 'DD-MON-YYYYHH24:MI:SS')

  • How can i save a data in text format

    how can i save a data in text format in labwindows cvi

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    If your data is in an array, the easiest way is to use the ArrayToFile function.
    It automatically creates a file and puts your data in it according to the format you provide.
    If you have individual samples that you need to write once in a while, you can either collect them into an array and then use ArrayToFile or open a file with fopen and write them as they are acquired with fwrite.
    Hope this helps,

  • My ole' Premiere program...trying to convert created video into supported format for youtube...

    I have the Adobe Premiere 3.0 program...i know, i know...pretty ancient. But hey, it works for the time being...lo. My problem is, i keep creating videos from this program, and am unable to convert it into the format supported by Youtube...HEEELLLPPP!!! The format i am saving it in is, [.prel]. the formats acceptable are; MPE4 format [Divx, Xvid, or SQV3 instead of h. 264] at 640x480 resolution with MP3audio [64k momo]
    After reading those stereo instructions, my question is....hoe do I convert an already designed video to fit these specs?
    Thanks in advance for your assistance, and I love you all.

    Thanks Hunt, hun.
    Been trying to figure this out for some time now. I am not that knowledgeable in the formats for videos being uploaded to different sites, but i am pretty good at creating videos. I am saving them in the format [.prel], and have no iea as to how to convert the format from - .prel, to {any other format}. I am looking on the program, and see no spot for conversion. i also have a program called prism video converter, which was unable to convert the format as wel, due to the fact that they dont support beginning formats of -.prel, as well. So i am within a rock a very very hard place right now. Is there a different program which i could install, which would allow me to convert the premiere videos i have created into another format? i recently downloaded the trial version of premiere pro. I hope this program allows me to take the saved project, and convert it into a usable format. Thanks again for all your assistance hun. Really appreesh it.

  • Jpcap and capturing data in text format

    Hey everybody!
    I want to use jpcap to capturing all data sending from local computer, which contains words like 'sex', 'porn' etc.
    1. Is it possible to achieve this using jpcap?
    2. If the answer is yes, then please, give me small hint. I cant see any method in jpcap API to get String data from captured packets...
    Best Regards,
    Peter.

    If your need is to capture outgoing ( or maybe incoming data ) then consider using WireShark.
    Available on Windows and Linux ( maybe Solaris... )
    If you want to create something like network data capture/analyzer using jpcap then why can't you find this :

  • Convert SAPScript text linse to normal stream text format

    Hi Gurus.
    We have a custom popup FM that displays text lines from a file provided by SAPScript text format.. (after u2018call function u2018READ_TEXTu2019).
    However, for example, the Tab indent markers in this text u2013 represented by two commas u2018,,u2019 are printing  instead of spaces representing the indent in our popup.
    We are searching a FM that takes the SAPScript text format and converts it to plain text format (before our Z_popup is called) where the Tab markers are replaced by spaces (in our case this is four spaces for each Tab mark).
    We have already tried FMu2019s: CONVERT_text; CONVERT_ITF_TO_STREAM_TEXT; CONVERT_ITF_TO_STREAM_TEXT. But none of them seem to fulfill the requirements stated above.
    Can anyone please advice?

    Hi Arnie,
    Instead of searching for FM you can manually code which is flexible.
    "after gettting text from READ_TEXT in lt_tline.
    Data: lt_string type table of string,
             lv_string type string.
    CONSTANTS: c_par  TYPE char2 VALUE ',,'. " Sign for tabs
      LOOP AT  lt_tline INTO  wa_tline.
           CONCATENATE lv_string  wa_tline-tdline INTO lv_string SEPARATED BY ' '.
           REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF c_par   IN lv_string WITH ' '.
            Append lv_string to lt_string.  "if needed in string table
      ENDLOOP.

  • Converting File Content.Unexpected XML format

    Hello,
    I need to convert file content in File Receiver Adapter.
    In my opinion, i have unexpected XML format of a payload message. (At least, the format does not contain a structure element):
    That is,
    I have the XML message:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <ns0:MT_BW ID="123" BirthDay="20/03/1969" Title="consultant" Name="John" LastName="Smith" xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/xi/BASIS"/>
    I need to convert it into plane text format with fieldseparator.
    How to convert this xml message into plane text format if it does not contain any structure elements  (that is, <struc1>  <field1>value</field1>  </struc1>) according to help guide?
    How should i configure RecordSet in File Adapter?
    I am confused.
    Thank you

    Igor,
    Are u getting the format from the source?
    <ns0:MT_BW ID="123" BirthDay="20/03/1969" Title="consultant" Name="John" LastName="Smith" xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/xi/BASIS"/>
    If yes, then create one more data type with structure
    <Record>
    <ID/>
    <BirthDay/>
    <Title/>
    <Name/>
    <LastName/>
    </Record>
    And do direct mapping. So now you can easily configure the content conversion for the target format isn't it?
    Its my thought, I don't know whether its feasible for you or not..

  • Need a POP-UP which can display internal table data in ALV format

    HI All,
    I need to display INTERNAL TABLE values through a POP-UP. Only condition is that the window with the internal table data should be in ALV format and not in TEXT only format.
    To clarify, I used FM 'POPUP_WITH_TABLE_DISPLAY_OK'   and  'POPUP_WITH_TABLE_DISPLAY', but both display the data in TEXT format and there is no provision to put the FIELD names there. Everthing needs to be put into internal table and it displays it in text format.
    So I want a FM where I can display internal tabel data in ALV format( same format that would appear if you creata search help for a filed and output window would have all the ALV features like SORT buttons etc.
    Hope there is some FM to achieve this ALV format data thing.
    Thanks in advance for all your help.
