In your previous thread, you used a mix of International and USA style dates and Text that looked like dates.
I assume that you require real dates; you can format them to your preference.
N.B. I made the heading an actual date Jan 1, 1900.
You can format it to your preference.

Hi, thank you for the solution once again !
I have a problem arranging this table, and also with getting the month automatically since it is a very long list 3413 rows and 6 columns and I have to arrange it in a single column for look up

If you do not have a VBA or formula solution to rearrange your data into a single column, you can do it for one six month period at a time with Excel version 365. There may be a way to do it with more rows but I do not know a way to do it. This is the first time that I tried the function.

You can try VStack and experiment with it; there are other related functions that you could try.

You can place the new single column of data wherever you want.

  • Enter the Vstack
  • Enter the formula to extract the date & time and the formula for the sign information
  • Format to your preference
  • Fill or copy down
The formula yields 85 rows. The extract below shows only the first 20 rows.
