Convert date to text excel

 To convert a date to text format in Excel, you can use the TEXT function. The TEXT function allows you to specify a date format and convert a date value into a text string.

Here's the syntax of the TEXT function:

convert date to text excel

scss

Copy code

TEXT(value, format_text)

The "value" argument represents the date you want to convert, and the "format_text" argument specifies the desired format for the text output.

For example, let's say you have a date value in cell A1 that you want to convert to text in the format "dd/mm/yyyy". You can use the following formula:

scss

Copy code

=TEXT(A1, "dd/mm/yyyy")

After entering this formula, Excel will display the date in text format according to the specified format.

Keep in mind that the underlying date value in the cell remains unchanged, and only the displayed format changes.
