    Copy DDMMYYYYHHMMSS and Paste as Unicode Text

    Hello,

    I have a promblem I've been trying to solve without success and wonder if someone could kindly assist?

    RECORD_ID TIME_STAMP DELETE_FLAG ETC....
    1 2014-12-05 10:11:06 N

    The TIME_STAMP column is date and time formatted from a now() function. I need to copy all of my data and paste onto a new sheet as unicode text and then concatenate my results with a pipe delimiter.

    At the moment, when I paste to a new sheet data in TIME_STAMP is just coming through as '41978.4290821759'. If I format the columns it will show correctly, but when I concatenate my columns, concatenate decides on its own date format.

    How can I resolve this?

    Solved.

    I will add another part to the process using =TEXT(B2,"yy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss").

    I will copy from this new cell which is text, rather than the original cell containing the date formatting.
