It looks like that's UNIX timestamp in milliseconds. Formula could be
=(A1/86400/1000)+25569and apply date or datetime format.
Jackie321 , you are welcome
Hi there,
i have a data set which shows all dates and time values as numbers in scientific (exponential) notation.
(1692749193000 = 169275E+12)
Which steps do I need to take to convert these into a date?
I already tried Home tab - Number group - Long date/Short date etc which returns ##########...
Thank you
