Hi
I have a excel with 2 sheets. I have to concatenate 3 columns of each sheet and vlookup the column SRno from sheet 1 to sheet 2.But the date formats are different in both the sheets.So i have to change the date format of both sheets and make it same. Is there any method to do that?
You can sue this if you want to format on excel
Range can be A:A for full a column
If you are reading it into datatable then
Datetime.ParseExact(“Date”,“Format for the given date(MM.dd.yyyy)”,System.Globalization.CulturalInfo.InvariantCulture)
Then use .ToString(“MM/dd/yyyy”) to get all dates in same format
cheers
I have used Datetime.parseExtract but thats not working
May I know how you used it
Can you share the workflow or the screenshots?
If you are writing vlook up on excel directly then please use the date format option that I showed in the previous post that will format your excel column as required
cheers
I have read the excel and 1st assigned it into a string variable as currentrow(“Date”).tostring and in 2nd assign varibale i have given euqtion as Datetime.parseexact(Date,“M/dd/yyyy”,nothing).tostring(“MM/dd/yyyy”)
First print the dates and check in which format they are
and if the dates are like MM/dd/yyyy(firstdate) and MM.dd.yyyy(SecondDate)
then use like this
Datetime.ParseExact(currentrow(“Date”).tostring,“MM/dd/yyyy”,System.Globalization.CulturalInfo.InvariantCulture).Tostring(“MM/dd/yyyy”).Equals(Datetime.ParseExact(currentrow(“Date”).tostring,“MM.dd.yyyy”,System.Globalization.CulturalInfo.InvariantCulture).Tostring(“MM/dd/yyyy”))
This will give true if matched
Mostly from excel you might get hours minutes and seconds as well then include hh:mm:ss as well in the initial format
