I would use E:E (which plainly means what ever is the row on E, I am on same Row). Where E:E is the Cell number of Excel cell, if I were to convert only one cell E1 to F1, I would just put E1 but since I have 1000 to convert , If there is no other referencing or calculation running on the excel sheet, I can insert a new column after E, by right clicking on Letter F and selecting insert Column (But if there is referencing already running in complex excel sheet, I would add a new sheet as inserting column can mess up other formulas so please be sure)Ĭolumn F is now Blank Column, I would call it Readable Call Originating Time, this description would be on F1Īctual data starts from E2 to E1000 that I need to convert and place it in F2 to F1000ġ. I want to read it in human readable format and I have 1000 Rows to convert. The Call originating time usually comes up on Column E
I have a CDR downloaded from Cisco Call Manager.

One questions everyone asks, is about how to Bulk Convert when you have Epoch time in an Excel sheet with thousands of Rows to convert. As it is, it won't matter if your local format is "d/m/yyyy" as "" is the same regardless of the month/day order. Someone asked above "What format should be used for regular date format as there are several used?" You can use "" which Excel should translate reliably. In my case, I decided I did not care if a displayed time was off by an hour should the daylight savings mode be different between "now" and a given Unix time and so using "LocalOffsetFromGMT()/8" works for me. To add to the pain, a few years ago the USA changed the dates we switched to/from daylight savings time.
My current GMT offset is 8 hours but during the summer it's 7 hours and so 1314627183 should translate to 07:13:03 for me. We were on daylight savings at the time time.
For example, let's say I have 1314627183 which translates to 14:13:03 GMT. The LocalOffsetFromGMT() function on that page works and returns the number of minutes from GMT meaning I divide that by 60 and get the fraction of the day Excel uses.Įven that is not perfect. Unfortunately, discovering the current time zone offset in Excel is a major pain. I'm in Pacific standard time time at the moment and expected to see 12:01:21. If you convert a value such as 1322164881 using =CELL/(60*60*24)+"" you will get 20:01:21 which is correct for UTC or the GMT time zone. Be aware that Unix time is the number of seconds since Janufor UTC/GMT while Excel uses the number of days and fractions of the day for the local time zone.
