Hi all

Can someone please help to suggest code for following

through column B I have date/time entries like following..

18-05-19 14:40

..and similar through column C

18-05-19 21:57


I'd like the code to.....
extract the date from the string through column B and place into column E
extract the time from the string through column B and place into column F
extract the time from the string through column C and place into column G


so from above example, the required results in column E, F and G would be..


Column E - 18-05-19
Column F - 14:40
Column G - 21:57

Many thanks in advance
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
are you able to use PowerQuery (Get&Transform)?

example:
[Table="width:, class:head"]
[tr=bgcolor:#FFFFFF][td=bgcolor:#5B9BD5]Column1[/td][td=bgcolor:#5B9BD5]Column2[/td][td][/td][td=bgcolor:#70AD47]Column1[/td][td=bgcolor:#70AD47]List.1[/td][td=bgcolor:#70AD47]List.2[/td][/tr]

[tr=bgcolor:#FFFFFF][td=bgcolor:#DDEBF7]
18/05/2019 14:40​
[/td][td=bgcolor:#DDEBF7]
18/05/2019 21:57​
[/td][td][/td][td=bgcolor:#E2EFDA]18/05/2019[/td][td=bgcolor:#E2EFDA]14:40:00[/td][td=bgcolor:#E2EFDA]21:57:00[/td][/tr]
[/table]

Is there anything else in the cells with those date/time values or is that the only thing in the cells? If that is the only thing, are your entries actual dates formatted to look the way you showed us or are they text strings?

Sounds like you have'real' date time values.

Try this.
Code:
Sub ExtractDateAndTime()
Dim arrIn As Variant
Dim I As Long

    arrIn = Range("B2", Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Value

    ReDim arrOut(LBound(arrIn, 1) To UBound(arrIn, 1), 1 To 3)

    For I = LBound(arrIn, 1) To UBound(arrIn, 1)
        arrOut(I, 1) = DateValue(arrIn(I, 1))
        arrOut(I, 2) = TimeValue(arrIn(I, 1))
        arrOut(I, 3) = TimeValue(arrIn(I, 2))
    Next I

    Range("E2").Resize(UBound(arrOut, 1), 3).Value = arrOut

End Sub
