Enter it with Ctrl+Semicolon rather than use a formula
or
Enter it with code
Cells(3,5).Value = Date
or
enter
=today()
then select the cell and do edit=Copy, then Edit=PasteSpecial and select
values.

my mistake. all working fine. i had missed another step in formtatting
my source data. It had blank lines in between the date fields.
i can even automatically create the pivot table now. excellent.
minor issue is that i use the date the report was created (today()) as
a comparison to wrok out the age. However i want this to be a fixed
value and not constantly compared to the 'day' the spreadsheet is
opend.
is there a way of easily doing this?
Paul
