Good evening,

I am receiving data in the form as an example:

Friday, November 1, 2024 03:11:00 AM

and I need to convert this into a proper date format to perform calculations on.
If anyone has an easy way to do this in a formula that would be great.

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
Try this:

Excel Formula:
=INT(TEXTAFTER(A1,", "))

Awesome, I like yours better than what I was able to come up with:

=LAMBDA(DateText,DATEVALUE(MID(DateText,SEARCH(",",DateText)+1,LEN(DateText)-SEARCH(",",DateText))))
