Default Validating Date Format

Hi,

Why not just format the whole column to the desired format, then any dates
legal dates must be formatted as you want?

If this helps, please click the Yes button

Cheers,

Hi,
We receive a sheet with about 1000 rows and need to do some
validation
on that sheet before it gets processed. One of the validations is for
the column with the date.
I need to validate that the date is in the "mm/dd/yyyy" format. I
have
looked and tried different but have not been able to do this. Could
somebody tell me how to validate the date.

Thank You
