Default Date Function


Thank you, Luke,
How does one read the formula ? I do not quite understand how this one
works. But it worked beautifully, can you explain ?

Thank you

If a cell has text and numeric (date) is there a way to pull the date out
easily ?
E.g.
Product dropped off on 11/01/2009 by Michelle Smith
I would like to see 11/01/2009

Thank you
