Default Change Date Format to Specific Text Format When Copying

Hi Adam,

I think you can use a formula to copy the datefrom the original input cell
to the destination cell. If for example your input cell is A1, in the
destination cell you can type the following formula:

=TEXT(A1,"yyyy-mm-dd")

I have a certain cell that is used to input a date. I want to be
able to push a button and copy this date to antoher cell, however I
need the formatting to change from the original date format to a text
format that goes yyyy-mm-dd. I've tried using a custom format and
then changing that to text but the date just changes to a number.
Any suggestions?

Thanks

Adam Bush
