How to change a date field from 2002/01/15 to YYYY-MM-DD. The right click and date selection is not converting it for some reason. Even tried to do a custom field but it’s not changing :(

a long way you could do it is concatenate the cell and espérate year month and day and then out it together using a formula in the form you’d like. idk how to do it easier!

It's in the "More Number Formats" selection box, then select "Custom" and enter "yyyy-mm-dd" in "Type"

Try to convert from text (existing format) to date first,

i.e. =DATE(LEFT(text,4),MID(text,5,2),RIGHT(text,2)) <adapt to characters within string>

Then use the date formatting.

select area, replace "/" with "-"

Yeah I was thinking that too but I’m just wondering what the root cause of the issue would be. Wondering what could be preventing it from taking the change?

=TEXT(A1, “YYYY-MM-DD”)

Hmm no luck with that. Thanks for the suggestion though.

This worked!! Thank you so much 👍

What is the value of cell L1128?

Check out the datevalue function too

I’ve had the issue before and I just use & formula to fix it. Never tried too hard to find out what caused it. 😅

What format is the original cell? You might have to use txt to columns and select dte as the format.

Most likely case is that you ran out of custom number formats - sometimes the excel is too bashful to tell you that straight out. You have to make room (delete some).
