Norman,

This is really a big help. Thanks a lot.

Hi Shi,

To display a date manually as its serial value, use the
general format or
number format and set decimal places to 0.

Norman,

Thank you very much for your help.

Is this 38237 equivalent to which "Category" under the
Menu [Format]-[Format Cells]-[Number Tab]-[Category]?

===============
General
Number
Date
Text
Special
Custom
===============

Hi Shi

Try using ths Clng conversion function.

For example, from the intermediate window:

?CLng(#07/09/2004#)
38237
?CLng(date)
38177

Hi,

I have a regular stock chart, just like any other
stock
charts in the planet. The Horizontal Axis is the
Date.
Usually, the Date will be displayed as 07/08/04
(mm/dd/yy)
format. How to format this Date to a Real Numerical
Date?

VBA code or manual solutions are both acceptable.

Thank you,


.
