Default Replace update year in date

Hi Jeff,

One way....
If your dates are in column A and column B is empty, enter this formula in
B1 and copy down.

=MONTH(A1) & "/" & DAY(A1) & "/" & YEAR(A1)-100

Then copy and paste special values to get rid of the formulas and then you
can delete column A.

Be sure to make a copy of your sheet first.

because of data entry errors I have a large number of birthdates that have
been entered with the year 20**instead of 19**. These are formatted in date
format and I am using Excel 2003 in XP Pro.

Can someone suggest a way of correcting this?

Thanks in advance
