[vibinmvenugopal]

I have one excel sheet which contain values in quarter like 2013 - Qtr 3, 2012 - Qtr 4 etc..

I am linking this excel sheet to access and in access I want to change this into dates, eg : 2013 - Qtr 3 should be shown as 07/01/2013 etc.

Please help.

Because of the odd return, you will need a function in a new cell to import the correct date.
usage: =CvtQtr2Date(A1)

Public Function CvtQtr2Date(ByVal pvQtrTxt)
Dim Q As Integer
Dim M, Y
Y = Left(pvQtrTxt, 4)
Q = Mid(pvQtrTxt, InStr(pvQtrTxt, ",") - 1, 1)
Select Case Q
   Case 1
      M = 1
   Case 2
      M = 4
   Case 3
      M = 7
   Case 4
      M = 10
End Select
CvtQtr2Date = M & "/1/" & Y
End Function
