VBA Excel date yyyy/mmm/dd to yyyy/mm/dd -


i'm writing small vba manage , convert date external tables , i'm stuck on strange date format like: yyyy/mm/dd need convert date a1 , paste b2

as tamplate use columns a1 , b1: a1= date converted b1= paste destinaton of converted dat

  • a1
  • 2012.jan.04
  • 2012.nov.04
  • 2012.dct.04

    • b1
    • 04.01.2012
    • 04.11.2012
    • 04.12.2012

what tested is:

  1. formula convert (with created dictionary) - cannot use in case of many dates convert
  2. vba date convert - cannot see date a1 proper date , nothing
  3. format date in excel build-in function "formating" - nothing
  4. also function "text-to-column" tested - still nothing

it looking i'm stuck on simple hard move forward why i'm asking help.

thanks ideas.

i use following formula in b1:

=date(left(a1,4),match(mid(a1,6,3),{"jan","feb","mar","apr","may","jun","jul","aug","sep","oct","nov","dct"},0),right(a1,2)) 

what looks strange abbreviation "dct" december. maybe have change array literal {"jan","feb","mar","apr","may","jun","jul","aug","sep","oct","nov","dct"} according language.

using vba following function used:

function convert_yyyy_mmm_dd_text2date(stext string) variant  dim iyear integer  dim imonth integer  dim smonth string  dim iday integer  dim amonths variant  dim bfound boolean   amonths = array("jan", "feb", "mar", "apr", "may", "jun", "jul", "aug", "sep", "oct", "nov", "dct")   on error goto errhandler  iyear = cint(left(stext, 4))  smonth = mid(stext, 6, 3)  iday = cint(right(stext, 2))   imonth = 0 ubound(amonths)   if amonths(imonth) = smonth    bfound = true    exit   end if  next   if bfound   convert_yyyy_mmm_dd_text2date = dateserial(iyear, imonth + 1, iday)  else   goto errhandler  end if   on error goto 0   exit function  errhandler:  convert_yyyy_mmm_dd_text2date = "conversion not possible"  end function
