This was my basic excel formula to make it usable. It just moves it into a single field in a format that excel can read, but easy enough to break into two cells if you want a date column and a time column, but your dates may be off when you correct for UTC offset. Just be sure to adjust the Column B format to show both date and time to your liking. Otherwise by default, it is just going to show the date.
Excel date DATE function is just looking for Year, Month, Day. TIME is looking for Hour, Minute, Second) and it converts it all into Excel decimal formats.
The MID function just pulls date from a specific spot in a data field. Luckily Sense was nice enough to always use 2 digit format for teh date and time. Otherwise it would be slightly tricier as the function would have to count / or " to know where to look for each chunk of date.
The second “Time” function is doing the time zone correct (just subtracting X hours from the time. So you can adjust the 4 to whatever offset you need.
You could in theory do this in the first time function as part of the first MID call, but I like it broken out so I can see it easier.
The formula refers to A2, assuming you inserted a new column after A and are starting with the first row of data, not headers.
=DATE(
LEFT(A2,4),
MID(A2,6,2),
MID(A2,9,2)
)
+
TIME(
MID(A2,12,2),
MID(A2,15,2),
MID(A2,18,2)
)
-TIME(4,0,0)
Or if R1C1 is your thing
=DATE(
LEFT(RC[-1],4),
MID(RC[-1],6,2),
MID(RC[-1],9,2)
)
+
TIME(
MID(RC[-1],12,2),
MID(RC[-1],15,2),
MID(RC[-1],18,2)
)
-TIME(4,0,0)
