Julian date conversion error

Asked by xenium in SAS, Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Tags: date, julian, sas, conversion

Hi,

I need to convert a Julian date in Excel that orginated in SAS, but am getting the wrong result by about 50 years. Example:

SAS Julian date: 12432
Represents: 14-Jan-1994

In excel by default this instead gives date 13-Jan-1934  (using TEXT(12432,"dd-mmm-yyyy")

How can i get Excel to return the required date of 14-Jan-1994 ?

Thanks!
