Converting time stamps in excel to dates

Question

I have a very large excel spread sheet that has a column of time stamps. Does anyone know convert that over to a date? Is there a function I can use? I tried format cell dat

Answer 1

Be aware of number of digits in epoch time. Usually they are ten (1534936923) ,then use:

=(A1 / 86400) + 25569    

For thirteen digits (1534936923000) of epoch time adjust the formula:

=(LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-3) / 86400) + 25569    

to avoid

Dates or times that are negative or too large display as ######

Answer 2

AD ticks to datetime format: =A1/864000000000 - 109205

Answer 3

i got result from this in LibreOffice Calc :

=DATE(1970,1,1)+Column_id_here/60/60/24

Answer 4

This worked for me:

=(col_name]/60/60/24)+(col_name-1)

Answer 5

Use this simple formula. It works.

Suppose time stamp in A2:

=DATE(YEAR(A2),MONTH(A2),DAY(A2))

Answer 6

A timestamp is the elapsed time since Epoch time (01/01/1970), so basically we have to convert this time in days, and add the epoch time, to get a valid format for any Excel like spreadsheet software.

• From a timestamp in milliseconds (ex: 1488380243994)

  use this formula:

  =A1/1000/86400+25569
  

  with this formater:

  yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.000
  

• From a timestamp in seconds (ex: 1488380243)

  use this formula:

  =A1/86400+25569
  

  with this formater:

  yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
  

Where A1 is your column identifier. Given custom formaters allow to not loose precision in displayed data, but you can of course use any other date/time one that corresponds to your needs.
