Hijri to Gregorian date conversion

[adorlytanglao]

On column F I have list of expiry dates of residence ID, and they are all in Hijri. I want to automatically have a conversion to be displayed on its adjacent cell on column G to Gregorian. I search this site for similar post and solution but most of them are for older version of Excel.

Hi,

Try to format G1 in the Gregorian format you want; then write in cell G1 the formula in below:

=F1

That was my first attempt on solving my issue, apparently it didn't worked that's why i went here. Basically it just copies the exact data coming from F1 to G1. I'm using this date format dd-mm-yyyy

Below is how it is on my PC

F	G
01/01/1436	25-10-2014
25/02/1435	28-12-2013
15/12/1435	09-10-2014
20/03/1436	11-01-2015

For column F I have used Um-AlQura calander [$-1970000]B2dd/mm/yyyy;@ format while for the column G I've used dd-mm-yyyy

By the way, what office version do you have...mine is Office 2010

It worked. Thank you very much. I just encountered some error before i got there. You see, i already have the existing date displayed on Column F then i tried the solution but its just copying the exact text to the Column G. But for some weird reason i tried clicking double clicking each cell on column F for editing(but not editing it, just to display the cursor inside) then one by one the cell on Column G changes to its correct gregorian date.
