Hi guys,

just facing problems with an importet file.

Can someone tell me how I need to custom format so it shows the correct time in excel

[TABLE="width: 176"]
<colgroup><col width="176"></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD="class: xl63, width: 176"]2017-12-30-09.28.28.937036

so it shows the date and time correctly?

Many thanks for your help!

Hi, I tried Steve the Fish's solution in post #3 , it worked for me, but I guess there is probably some regional setting you need to change, not just the ; for , replacement.

Here's a slightly different approach . . .
Code:
=DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MID(A1,6,2),MID(A1,9,2))+TIME(MID(A1,12,2),MID(A1,15,2),MID(A1,18,2))

NOTE - this IGNORES the final fraction of a second, in other words rounds the time DOWN to the nearest full second.
If that's a problem for you, there are ways of rounding it differently.

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.

Open the "Format Cells" dialog box, for example by right clicking on the cell.
Select the "Number" option, and then choose "Custom".

Then in the "Type" box, key in a format, such as
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS

Some of this is probably different in German, sorry !
