Default Amending date formats.

Hi David

There are other formulas on the sheet that show things like days outstanding.
The erraneous ones show up with things like negative number of days
outstanding and such like. Its easy to mark which ones are US dates, this has
already been done. I just need to know how to switch US to UK en masse.

How do you know which is which? With 26/6/07 or 6/26/07 it's obvious, but
how do you know what 4/6/07 is intended to be? Can you perhaps rely on all
the ones which are actually numbers [ISNUMBER()] being UK style, and all
those which are text cells [ISTEXT()] being US (or v.v.)?

Hi all,

I have a column in a spreadsheet which shows dates. These dates are mixed
between U.S. style and UK style. What the quickes way to switch them all
over
to UK style?

I have tried mass formatting the cells but this does not work and it will
take me forever to adjust them individually.

Many thanks in advance,

Rik
