How to Fix Excel Dates That Won’t Format Right

Описание: Struggling to cleanly separate dates and times in Excel? Learn how to extract just the date, convert it to a serial number, and format it correctly—without breaking your spreadsheet.

This Excel video explains how to separate the date and time in Excel and convert dates to serial numbers.

Excel treats dates as serial numbers and times as fractional values. The INT function can be used to extract the date portion from a datetime value. For example, if cell B5 contains the value 36678.5 representing June 1, 2028 12:00 PM, the formula INT(B5) will return the date portion, 36678.

To display the result as a date, a date number format should be applied.
