I'm using XL2003. For manufacturing purposes, products are stamped with a
serial number that includes the day of manufacture, represented by the day
number, i.e. January 1st = 001, 1st February = 032 and so on. Each new year
begins again at 001.
Is there a quick way to convert this 3-digit day number to an actual date?
Thanks in advance,
Amanda

Hi Amanda,
=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),1,VALUE(D14))
In D14 you have your 3 digits day.

Because if you open next year the file with 2006 data, the dates would
change, you can change the above formula n this way:
=DATE(D12,1,VALUE(D14))
where in D12 you have to type 2006.

shorter than my offering but it also works without the value, even if text
=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),1,A1)

Yes, I didn't think that also the DATE function makes the conversion from
text to value..

try this formula or a macro to do it for you.
=DATEVALUE(12&"/"&31&"/"&YEAR(TODAY()))-365+A1
