EOMonth Calclulation

Hello All,

 

I want to use EOMONTH calculation on a date where in my date format is 25.08.2018.

When I apply the formula am not getting the date. If I change the date format to 8/25/2018 then I get the value. But I have 6 lakh line items where date format is 25.08.2018.

Need help.

 

  • Hi,

     

    A format like this 25.08.2018 isn't a valid date format this is why the EOMONTH function doesn't work!

    To convert the dates to proper date format, please follow these steps:

     

    • Select the dates
    • Go to Data >> Data Tools >> Text to Columns
    • In the Text to Columns dialog box, press Next twice to reach out to step 3 of 3
    • In step 3 of 3, select Date, and select DMY format as shown in the below screenshot
    • Click Finish
