Hi Hans!
Thank you for this very useful and simple solution.

And it's showing a way off date here (today 01/17/2023) but it reads "21/12/yy at 12:00 am" - now 11:21 am
Do you have any idea why it can figure out the right date or time?
Thank you very much in advance!

The format code yy works for the English language version of Excel.
If your version uses another language, you probably have to use another letter.
For example, for French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese it would be aa (for année, año, anno, ano), and in German and Dutch it would be jj (for Jahr, jaar), etc.
