Hi all,

I have to copy data from SAP which puts the date as 01.07.24 but Excel doesn't pick this up properly, even when changing the format. So I ran a macro to convert text to column, but when you run the macro each time it will mess up...

So this is correct, but when you run macro again it swaps the day and month around...

VBA Code:
    Range("D2").Select
    Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
    Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("D2"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
        TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=False, _
        Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=False, FieldInfo _
        :=Array(1, 4), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
    Range("Table3[[#Headers],[PRODUCT]]").Select

I just need this to run once or is there another way to sort it?

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
Change the Array(1, 2) it seems to be working now!
