Help changing: DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM to YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM

Hi,

 

I am struggling with changing date formate in Excel form DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM to YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM 

 

I have tired to custom change with formate but it does not work.

 

I looked online and found few function like Isnumber or Iftext but it never worked. 

 

I need your help please as I am trying to export my excel data to WEKA which only recognize this formate YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM

 

There is also another problem. Even if I right the date I want from scratch the cell value at the top bar shows seconds and AM/PM. Changing cell formate does not change anything.

 

Thank you very much in advance!

    The formula bar always shows the date and time according to your computer's system settings.

    The values in column A look like text values. Try this in B2:

     

    =MID(A2,7,4)&"-"&MID(A2,4,2)&"-"&LEFT(A2,2)&MID(A2,11,6)

     

    Fill down.
