Bill,
If you just want a key entry way of doing it.
Enter a zero and space before the fraction.
(0 7/8) will show as 7/8

Hi Bill,

Or to convert the spurious dates to text fractions, try:

'=======================
Public Sub DatesToTextFractions()
Dim rCell As Range
Dim rng As Range

For Each rCell In Selection
With rCell
If IsDate(.Value) Then
.NumberFormat = "@"
.Value = Month(.Value) _
& "/" & Day(.Value)
End If
End With
Next

End Sub
'<<=======================

And, if the values to be converted were always in a specific column
(say
column B) then, try:

'=======================
Public Sub DatesToTextFractions2()
Dim rCell As Range
Dim rng As Range
Const myColumn As String = "B" '<<==== CHANGE

With ActiveSheet
Set rng = Intersect(.UsedRange, _
Columns(myColumn))
End With

For Each rCell In rng
With rCell
If IsDate(.Value) Then
.NumberFormat = "@"
.Value = Month(.Value) _
& "/" & Day(.Value)
End If
End With
Next

End Sub
'<<=======================

I have copied and pasted a file from a website into Excel 2000,in
column
"B"
there was a entry like this:-
11/14 which means 11th place from 14 positions. Excel shows this
entry as
Nov-14 (a date). I have tried
every thing that I could find , but can not bring it back t
11/14
(which
is
very important for my end result)
There are about 300 rows that I have to import every day.
Is there a worksheet function that you know of ?
Or is there a macro that would work?
Can you please help ?

hopeful Bill
