Problems with date formatting
Bascially i have been using a spreadsheet that i have set-up in as a template
to convert data for me. Part of the process see's me pasting an external spreadsheet into my template my problem is that all of a sudden this posted data has no format. The date is showing as the 1900 format i.e. the 1st of Jan 1900 shows as 1. No matter what i try i can't get the format to change. If i highlight a cell i can see the format in the formula bar but it doesn't show it on the sheet. Does anyone know how i can sort this out? or has the sheet become corrupted? Any help will be gratefully received |

Maybe you're looking at formulas.
