MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / December 2005Date Conversion - sorry
OK, guys, I've read a plethora of posts about DATE, but can't find one that suits my situation. It's probably out there somewhere,... please help. I have a cell D2 it's formated as a date 03/01/04 field I have another numeric field in K5 (just numbers e.g. 3428) I want cell J2 to be 20040301-3428. So, do I need to convert D2 to a data yyyymmdd? then convert to text? then add the hyphen? then add the number? It's probably simple, but I've spent too much time on this. I keep getting the serial date or whatever that 38,889 number is. =TEXT(D2,"yyyymmdd")&"-"&TEXT(K5,"#")  SignatureKind regards, Niek Otten > OK, guys, I've read a plethora of posts about DATE, but can't find one > that [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > It's probably simple, but I've spent too much time on this.

Or, if you always want to copy K2, no matter if it has decimals, =TEXT(D2,"yyyymmdd")&"-"&K5 SignatureKind regards, Niek Otten > =TEXT(D2,"yyyymmdd")&"-"&TEXT(K5,"#") > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >> getting >> the serial date or whatever that 38,889 number is. =TEXT(D2,"yyyymmdd")&"-"&K5. If you need to force the suffix to a certain number of digits, you could use &text(k5,"0000") instead of just &K5. > OK, guys, I've read a plethora of posts about DATE, but can't find one that > suits my situation.

I have no idea what you're doing....but, I think this will do it: =TEXT(D2,"yyyymmdd")&"-"&K5 Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron > OK, guys, I've read a plethora of posts about DATE, but can't find one that > suits my situation.
