I have a spreadsheet with text strings representing dates and times. An example would be "Tuesday, January 1, 2012 9:02:01 PM". I need to convert this to the Datetime format. I'm wondering if someone can share ideas about how to do this.
 

Excel Facts

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Try this...
=DATEVALUE(MID(F9,FIND(",",F9)+2,99))+TIMEVALUE(MID(F9,FIND(":",F9)-2,99))
then Format Custom dddd, mmmm, d, yyyy h:mm:ss AM/PM
