... annnnnd just like that, I'm not going to throw my computer out the window! Thank you for fixing my whole day!

Been trying to find a fix for this for...admittedly...a lot longer than I should have. You fixed my problem so quickly and efficiently! Thank you.

Mehnnnn just 2 minutes into the video and i got the solution to what gave me sleepless nights, i just got an internship and i have one month to finish up 8 projects, this challenge kept me on one spot for days, the frustration was watching many videos on here with the problem remaining the same. This was it for me.. Thank you big time Sir. I love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. From Nigeria

Outstanding! I searched over an hour on what to do when you can't change the date format. I found your video and you explained it within the first four minutes. Thank you so much!!!

Finally! This is the only video that helped me understand the problem and SOLVE IT!!! Thank you! Brief and effective! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

You're my hero! I imported data and couldn't change my date format in Excel! This was a complete life saver for a big presentation!

Wow thanks! We literally had a problem with this today! Our data stream changed from UK date format to US date format halfway through for no reason, and nothing we did would allow the format to change. Your solution worked!

Absolutely brilliant - 2 mins in and you had changed my mood from frustration to wonder!!! Problem solved. THANK YOU!!!

Just another super clear, eazy and fast explanation!

Oh man! You just saved me a TON of time, thinking I had to re-enter thousands of data fields with incorrect date formatting. THANK YOU !!!!!! : )

Excellent practical application of Text in columns. Thank you for these tips Chester!

Sir, thank you so much for posting this. I have been struggling with the date formats for years now. Spent countless hours cleaning those one by one.

You're an absolute superstar for making this video. Super helpful and easy to follow!

Short and sweet, thank you very much!! All the other tutorials were just saying to go to format text haha. Cheers, delimited worked perfectly

love this tutorial! helping me alot for my final year project-ive got data from 2004-2020 and they're all on different formatting LOL imagine how frustrating it was for me. Thank you so much!

You sir. Just saved my life at work. Was getting real flustered when the sort didnt work cause they had inconsistent date "datas".

THANK YOU! I have been trying to solve this problem for years thank you very much for the solution! I discovered some of the dates on my sheet were listed as "text", I copied the column, pasted it as Value 123 and applied your solution.😉

That's the way a tutorial should be. Direct to the point, short and problem solving. TNX Mr Chester.

I can't thank you enough! I've spent a long time trying to change the date and format the correct way to sort my worksheet

Thank you, this saved me a lot of time manually correcting dates that would not convert into numbers or work on formulas as they were recognised as text with a time at the end after the date. The text to columns option as delimited file and separator as space allowed me to separate the time from the date and next choose the right date format option for the problematic dates. Thanks again.

thank you, been racking my brain trying to figure this out myself. concise and to the point, instantly liked the video.

Thank you SO MUCH!! I love excel and I know more about it than nearly everyone in my department, so when I have an issue that stumps me, I feel like an idiot. You redeemed me!!

Thank you!!! I have been struggling with this for along time and finally found your video and it was very clear on how to fix!!

Un genio. Gracias!!!!!! I had written a lot of dates thinking in Spanish format, but it was in English Format!, thanks to your explanation I didn't have to rewrite all of them to reformat :)

Thank you so very much for this video. I wish if I could find your video 2 days ago, so I didn't have to waste my 2 days for solving this problem...Thanks again!!!!!

HUGE help! So relieved to get that format changed to a date, thank you! Although, know when I take that newly formatted data and try to plot it on a graph it plots it as a number up to 5000??? How do I put it into a graph now that it's formatted as a date????
