Excel stores dates as numbers. The dates start with 1/1/1900 which is day
1.
1/2/1900 is day 2. The date 1/13/2007 is actually stored as the number
39095. There is no "day" in the number 39005. Excel calculates the day
based on the number 39095. Do you want the text "1/2007" to be the result
in
the cell?
