Answer: Remove slash charaters from a date field
To remove the slash characters from a date field in Excel, you can use the SUBSTITUTE function. Here are the steps:
This will remove all the slash characters from the selected cells. If you have multiple date fields with slashes, you can repeat these steps for each of them. Alternatively, you can use a formula to remove the slashes. Here's how:
This will replace the formulas in column B with the actual values, without the slashes.

Remove slash charaters from a date field
You could have kept the dates in the cells as dates, and used a custom
number format that omits any punctuation. For example, "yyyymmdd" or "mmddyy". This would be more useful if you needed the numeric character of the dates. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services, Inc. http://PeltierTech.com/WordPress/ _______ "GaryO" wrote in message ...
