Translating Date Formats

Hi Mark,

There isn't a specific function to translate the date format, but it can be set up with the help of some helper columns.

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

I hope this helps you!

Have a fantastic week & Happy Holidays!

Try this.

Place the formula below in the column where you want the converted date format to be. OrgDate is the date that you want to convert.

=IF(LEN(MONTH(OrgDate@row)) = 1; "0" + MONTH(OrgDate@row); MONTH(OrgDate@row)) + "/" + IF(LEN(DAY(OrgDate@row)) = 1; "0" + DAY(OrgDate@row); DAY(OrgDate@row)) + "/" + RIGHT(YEAR(OrgDate@row); 2 + IF(YEARDAY(OrgDate@row) < 10; "00"; IF(YEARDAY(OrgDate@row) < 100; "0")))    

The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.    

=IF(LEN(MONTH(OrgDate@row)) = 1, "0" + MONTH(OrgDate@row), MONTH(OrgDate@row)) + "/" + IF(LEN(DAY(OrgDate@row)) = 1, "0" + DAY(OrgDate@row), DAY(OrgDate@row)) + "/" + RIGHT(YEAR(OrgDate@row), 2 + IF(YEARDAY(OrgDate@row) < 10, "00", IF(YEARDAY(OrgDate@row) < 100, "0")))

Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.

Did it work?

Have a fantastic week & Happy Holidays!
