    Need help with Date Conversion formula

    I have a series of dates in this format: 20100818133346
    That I need to conver to: 08/18/2010 1:33:46 PM

    I have a standard working knowledge of Excel, but no experience in writing formulas for this type of conversion. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Bob Siebecker

    The date is always in 8 digits?

    Or there are dates with less digits?

    The time is Always in 6 digits?

    Or there are times with less digits?

    Date and time in same cell?

    Date and time in differant cells?
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    If you are satisfied with the solution, please mark the question solved.

    Try

    =TEXT(LEFT(A1,8),"0000\/00\/00")+TEXT(RIGHT(A1,6),"00\:00\:00")

    And custom format the cell with the formula as mm/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss AM/PM

    You're welcome..

    After a little more thought, considering this has worked for you.
    It can be shortened a bit

    =TEXT(A1,"0000\/00\/00 00\:00\:00")+0
