I have an Excel file which has a column formatted as date in the format dd-mm-YYYY.
I need to convert that field to text. If I change the field type excel converts it to a strange value (like 40603).
I tried the text function but it gives me Error 508.
i learn this method in http://www.excel-formulas.in/2016/01/names-in-excel-formulas-online.html
Any help?
I don't see how this would relate to the name range manager, anyway...select the cell that you want the string to be placed in and use the following formula
=TEXT(A1,"dddd dd mmmm yyyy")
You can edit how you want the date to be displayed inside the quotes
dddd = Monday, Tuesday...
ddd = Mon, Tue...
dd = 01, 02...
d = 1, 2...
mmmmm = J, F...
mmmm = January, February...
mmm = Jan, Feb...
mm = 01, 02...
m = 1, 2...
yyyy = 2016, 2017...
yy = 16, 17...
Hope this helps
