I get a date from excel and store it into a string. Once in a string, I convert it into a DateTime object. But I want to set up an if condition to check if the value is a date then convert it. Not sure how to check if the value is a date.

Can anyone help?

If suppose your DateTime value is stored in a str_datetime which is format “dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss” then use this expression in a IF condition

Date.TryParseExact(str_datetime.ToString.SubString(0,10),“dd/MM/yyyy”,Nothing,Globalization.DateTimeStyles.None,Nothing)
