    adding 20 or 19 to a list of dates (95,97,08,03,01)

    I have the attached list of dates. I need to add the full four numbers so 01 would change to 2001 and 97 would change to 1997. Does excel have a function to do this with?

    Can you post some examples?
    You mentioned an attachment, but I don't see it.

    I think it would be more accurate if you know the earliest year in your database.

    Here is a formula that should do the conversion. It breaks at half of the century but it can be adjusted to the earlier date.

    Select the range having dates. Format cells.
    Format cells --> Date -->Select the required format showing four digits for year.
