Default Numbers to dates

Hi Stevie,
You can change the format of cells by selecting FORMAT CELLS, then click
on DATE and select whatever format you would like them to have.

Regards,
Tom

Hi,

I am new to all this excel help forum.
Can you help me i have a column that is formatted as numbers but is
actually dates so 1st Jauary 2006 is stored as 112006, and the 24th
April 2004 is stored as 2442004 so if i sort on this column the 1st
January 2006 comes first but in reality the 24th Spril 2004 comes
first.

How do i get excel to store it as a date in the formatdd/mm/yyyy.

Please help
