Excel dates are stored as numbers from a reference point,
either you need to adjust the number by subtracting (or adding) a constant;
otherwise, if it is looking for a text date with slashes or hyphens then
you would have to format another cell as text
=TEXT(cellwithdate, "yyyy-mm-dd")
in VBA code it would be something like
strDate = FORMAT(datevariable,"yyyy-mm-dd")
strDate = Format(Date, "yyyy-mm-dd")
