Change text format to date

Mitra Mahdavi

The format that I have is :21/Jan/2020

This formula does not help: DATE(VALUE(RIGHT(text,4)), VALUE(MID(text,4,3)),VALUE(LEFT(text,2)))

Does anybody have a suggestion?

You would need to convert the "Jan" to a number.

IF(MID(text,4,3) = "Jan", 1, IF(MID(text,4,3) = "Feb", 2, IF(MID(text,4,3) = "Mar", 3, ..............................................................., 12)))))))))))

Then drop that into the VALUE function within the month section.

DATE(VALUE(RIGHT(text,4)), VALUE(IF(MID(text,4,3) = "Jan", 1, IF(MID(text,4,3) = "Feb", 2, IF(MID(text,4,3) = "Mar", 3, ..............................................................., 12)))))))))))),VALUE(LEFT(text,2)))
