Default How can I filter for Birthdays/Anniversaries in Excell?

what if the dates in column A are stored as text in the YYYYMMDD format?

I have a column of birthdays and would like to be able to filter only those
birthdays that occur in the next 14-21 days so we can mail cards. Is there a
way to do this?


How about this. Assume the birthdays are in column A in date format such as
9/23/1950. Then create a second column B where

B1 = if(mod(days360(today(),A1),360) < 21,"Send Card!","")

Then just copy that all the way down the B column.

Good luck...
