Default Sorting a large list by date (month number)

Thanks Gord. Worked out fine.

If the column with the =MONTH formula is adjacent to the dates column just
double-click on the fill handle of the top formula cell.

This will copy/increment the formula all the way down.

OR enter the formula in top cell of helper column then enter B1:B13000 and
ENTER. Where B is your helper column.

CTRL + d to copy down.

Hello All,

I have a list of 13,000 call records imported into Excel 2000. I have added
an extra column so I can convert the call dates into months (1-12) using the
month function.
Is there an easier way to convert all the call date records apart from
dragging the formula across all 13,000 records?

Appreciate any help.
