I want to write an if statement or VBA to separate the day, month and year. Instead of reading 1/12/2010 I want the 1 to appear in one column the 12 to appear in another column and the 2010 to appear in a separate column. One of my concerns is the first number can sometimes be two digits and the second number can sometimes be 1 digit. Any suggestions?
 

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
if your date is stored in MyDate

Code:
dim MyDate as Date
MyDate = #1/12/2014#
Range("A1").value = day(mydate)
Range("B1").value = month(mydate)
Range("C1").value = Year(myDate)

Are the Dates stored as text or serial numbers?
quick check for serial numbers: Add 1 to date and see if you get the #VALUE Error.
