Hi Khadeer,
Have a read of the following post: Re: How to convert date format from strange to normal
It's a UNIX timestamp in hexadecimal.
Conversion:
40E40633h = 1088685619
Excel formula (for example):
=(1088685619)/60/60/24+DATE(1970,1,1)
Result:
Thursday, 2004-07-01 14:40:19
posted by Stefan Bäckstrand in post I attached.
So in essence you would need to do the above converstion then format using DATE(<converted date>, 'DD-MM-YYYY') or DATE#(<converted date>, 'DD-MM-YYYY')
There are other functions as well such as Timestamp, that you could use to get the date in the right format.
Keep in mind the functions with the '#' take a text representation of a date. If the input date is not the right "type" then you will get '-' as a result. Thats where timestamp may help.
If you are confused with what i've said, please feel free to ask again.
Hope I've helped
