date conversion from this xlsx format 07.30.2021 to this numbers 44407

Good morning,

on an excel file I had the data separated by points (examples 30.07.2021 29.07.2021 27.07.2021) with the export in Numbers they became: 44407 44406 44404) who can help me to report them with understandable dates?

Hi RomeoSierra21,


Excel stores dates as the number of days since 1st January 1900. Sometimes, this becomes a glitch when opening an Excel document in Numbers.


Try this:


Formula in C2: DATE(1900,1,1)+B2−2

Fill down.


The -2 is because 1900 was not a Leap Year (and another reason that I forget!)


Regards,

Ian.
