Formatting Date
Worked like a charm!!! That's a new one for the toolbox (never seen or used
that built-in function before).
Thank you!

Format the way you like.
Excel doesn't see your text "2008-Jan-10" as a date. That's why changing the
number format didn't change the displayed text.

I have a column which contains dates
2008-Jan-10
I have tried changing the cell format, but it has no effect. I have tried
using the Text(..,"yyyy-m-d"), but it has not effect. How can I change the
format so it is formatted like yyyy-m-d?
Thank you
QB
