Hello,

Could someone please help. Is there a formula to convert A12812001 into 5/8/2015. A =2015 and 128 = the day. The rest of the numbers do not mean anything for what I am doing.

Thank you I greatly appreciate your help.

Hi Judy,

So if A = 2015, then B is probably 2016 and so on.

We need to create a list for that. So one column contains A, B, C.... and the other 2015, 2016, 2017 and so on.

In the following formula your value is placed in A1 and the list is located in columns K and L:
=DATE(VLOOKUP(LEFT(A1,1),K1:L26,2),1,MID(A1;2;3))

Format the formula cell as date in the desired format.

Best regards,
Trowa
