Hi

A bit of background
An automatic report I receive displays the date and time in a weird way:

19/08/2006 19:11:13
YY/MM/YYDD HH:MM:SS

is there a way to rearrange this data to a more usable format?
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
The data stored in the cell is as date or as text?

What format do you want?

Your example does not make sense... how is the YY number 19 at the beginning and 20 at the end?

its pure text al in one cell and Ideally Id like it DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS
@Rick its not a typo its how the data comes, makes it hard to set a window of time using filter which is why i need to rearrange it
