    Use INT and format as date.

    For example, if the date/time is in A1.

    Hi.

    No need to change anything if all you want to SEE is the date. Just format it as "dd/mm/yyyy"

    You can also select the cell(s) with the date and time and click on the Home Tab, choose Short Date under the Number group.

    If the time/date is in A1 and you want the time in say D1, select D1 and enter =A1 and format the cell as h:mm:ss

    Re: Left with find?

    ... again, there is no need to do anything with a formula.

    Irrespective of how your cell is formatted it contains a number like 41802.49.

    You can choose to format it to show either the date (the integer part) as in your original question, or the time (the decimal part) - with a "hh:mm:ss" format.

    Re: Left with find?

    if you really need to separate it =MOD(A1,1)
    or =int(a1) in b1 and =a1-b1 in c1
