- CTRL+1 is a shortcut to access the Format Options.
There you can select or create your custom format for the cell you will apply to.
As I said, if you just want the date format only make reference to the cell where there is a full date format =A2 and apply your desired format using the format Option accessed by CTRL+1

Let's say you have such a date in A2.
To extract the date, enter the formula =INT(1*A2) in a cell and format that cell as a date.
To extract the time, enter the formula =MOD(1*A2,1) in a cell and format that cell as a time.
Alternatively, use =DATEVALUE(A2) and =TIMEVALUE(A2)
- Thank you for your help
I guess it is with the format "dd mmmm yyyy hh:mm:ss"
You can either
Change the format of the cell (CTRL+1)
or
Use a formula to meet your needs (Considering A2 contains the date)
=TEXT(A2,"mm/dd/yyyy") Resulting in "09/06/2021"
=TEXT(A2,"h:mm:ss") 12:00:00
Remember that using formula you are converting the values to a text value.
So I would suggest you just make reference to the Date cell and apply the desired format.
- Thank you for your help ,worked as well
- clt + 1 does not do anything used it before
