I have several large spreadsheets in 2007, each containing many columns of
numbers, dates, and text. When I hit CTRL F and type either a number or text
in the box, it's found immediately. When I try dates, "...cannot find the
data..." pops up.

Date is currently formatted as 30-Jun-08. What do I need to do to make
dates able to be found (short of changing the date presentation on the sheet)?

Thanks!

You have to change the Options in the Find dialog box to Look In
"Values" to find dates.
