No need to post again look in you other post and tell me what's wrong with my
answer and we'll fix it

I am attempting to convert a date to text, and am having trouble with
the formatting. Specifically, I wish to convert a date in the form mm/
dd/yyyy to text in exactly the same format.

I am using excel 2000.

Using the command =Text(Text,text-format), I am having trouble with
the format piece.

"Help" tell me that the format code is based on he "format cells
numeric" definitions. My problem is that the code appears to be a
number, and nowhere can I find what number produces what defined text
format!

Can someone either give me the code I need, or point me in the right
direction to get an answer.

Thanks in advance
