Cdate Type Mismatch Vba
String, _ dDate As Date sDate = "20141111" dDate = CDate(sDate) End Sub type mismatch cdate vbscript dDate = CDate(sDate) returns type mismatch error. I have no clue why... A Macro I use is fed cdate format a date formatted as a string (see sDate). How do I convert it to a legitimate date?

2014 1:00 PM Reply | Quote Answers 0 Sign in to vote VBA doesn't recognize 20141111 as a valid date. It "sees" a huge number that does not fit in the date range that VBA supports. You can do the following: dDate = DateSerial(Left(sDate, 4), Mid(sDate, 3, 2), Right(sDate, 2)) or dDate = CDate(Format(sDate, "@@@@/@@/@@")) Regards, Hans Vogelaar (http://www.eileenslounge.com) Marked as answer by

I have no clue why A date in Office is the number of consecutive days since the turn of the century (1900). Today (Oct 11, 2014) is 41923 What you have is the number 20,141,111 converted to text. It is beyond the numeric limits established for a date. If you can parse the number into its components then the DateSerial function can handle it... dDate = DateSerial(year, month, day) or dDate = DateSerial(2014, 11, 11) '--- Jim Cone Portland, Oregon USA free & commercial excel programs (n/a xl2013) https://jumpshare.com/b/O5FC6LaBQ6U3UPXjO -or- http://jmp.sh/K95N3ee Marked as answer by Bednar87 Saturday, October 11, 2014 3:14 PM Edited by James Cone Thursday, May 14, 2015 12:26 AM Saturday, October 11, 2014 1:42 PM Reply | Quote All replies 0 Sign in to vote VBA doesn't recognize 20141111 as a valid date.

I am designing a form based tool which involves entering quite a lot of data on to a workbook, using vba forms. I am using http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/175775-cdate-error-when-operating-blank-string.html lots of expressions like worksheets("Milestones").cells(SelectionRow, 21).value=cdate(txtDeadline.text) I am also using an error handling procedure to ensure that only dates are entered, like: on error goto DateError ... unload me goto finish: DateError: msgbox("One of the values entered is not a valid date. Please check and try again.") finish: This works perfectly except for the fact that if a text box is left blank on the form, you get the same error. I.e. Cdate operating on a blank string gives the same error. The obvious (in my eyes) solution is wherever I use Cdate to create a function e.g. ConvertDate as follows: function ConvertDate(date_to_convert) if date_to_convert="" then goto continue convertdate=cdate(date_to_convert) continue: end function Can anyone think of a more elegant/better solution to my dilemma. I need some sort of validation on the dates entered via the form, but need the ability for text boxes to be left blank at times too. Thanks Gopes P.S.

Therefore the Expression that is supplied to the CDate function must be able to be interpreted as a valid VBA date or time.The CDate function can interpret text representations of dates and times that are in a recognised Excel format. However, the function is type mismatch unable to interpret dates that include the text description of the weekday (Sunday, Monday, etc).VBA CDate Function ExamplesIn the following VBA code, the CDate function is used to convert various text strings and numeric values into VBA dates and times.'
