Default Anonomise data

Hi Wizard,

Try:

'=============
Public Sub Tester001()
Dim Rng As Range
Dim rCell As Range
Dim LRow As Long

LRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row

Set Rng = Range("A2:A" & LRow)

For Each rCell In Rng.Cells
With rCell
If Not IsEmpty(.Value) Then
If IsDate(.Value) Then
.Value = DateSerial(Year(.Value), 4, 1)
End If
End If
End With
Next rCell

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

Regards,
Norman

...
I have a spreadsheet in XL2000 containing some data extracted from a DB. I
need to make the data anonymous so I can use it for training purposes. In
the date of birth column I want to change the dates so that
anyday/anymonth/1975 becomes 01/04/1975, anyday/anymonth/1976 becomes
01/05/1975, and so on.

My initial idea was a case statement applied to every cell in the column -
but I can't make it work.

Any assistance would be gratefully received.
