Hello all,

I have started receiving a csv file where the month is being presented (with General formatting) as:

202405

I need to convert the date to "May-24" but converting it to a date leaves me with "Feb-54".

Has anyone encountered this issue before? I'm trying to use a For... Loop to convert each cell in a range to this date format.
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
202405 will obviously be translated to Feb 28, 2454
You can obtain the string May-24 using in your loop something like
VBA Code:
    myFDate = Format(DateSerial(Left(Cells(I, "A"), 4), Right(Cells(I, "A"), 2), 1), "mmm-yy"
This assumes I is the pointer to the row and the value to be converted is in column A, adapt to your situation

If you need a true date, omit Format and the format string and you will get May 1st, 2024

Try...
