For the process of convert date to text excel in your particular database, you can use a text function of “TEXT”.

The particular function of “TEXT” allows you to convert date to text Excel. For example, consider a scenario where the date is in cell A1 and you want to change the date into text in another cell. For this you can use a formula in the formula bar:-

  “ = TEXT (A1,. “yyyy-mm-dd”)

This above formula will help you in converting date of cell A1 to text in another cell which you would choose. You can modify the data according to your requirements.
