excel office 365 struggling to formatting a cell/column with date and time

Copper Contributor

Good day,

I have recently purchased the Office 365.

Now i need to format a excel cell/column that was imported from a .txt file that specify date and time of the certain program (Magtouch) that was done.

 

I used to import the file into excel and then i could format the date & time to DAY, DATE & TIME. (This all in one cell).

Now, with office 365 i cannot manage to do this.

Can anybody please assist me urgently?

 

Kind Regards

Alta

Alta, first be sure data was imported as date and time, not as text representation of it. You may check in any empty cell as =ISNUMBER(A1) if in A1 such date time. If TRUE, you have correct data. To apply proper format select all such cells, Ctrl+1, custom format and here

ddd dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss

 

If that's text (returned FALSE on test) it's better to check how is your data looks, better if you could attach small sample.
