date display as numbers
When I enter the date as 1/2 and hit enter, it automatically display as
39114. Then I went Formatcellnumberclick date and choose the type 14-Mar and click OK, Then when I enter the 1/2 and enter again, it will display as 1/02/2007 on the formular box, and will spill over to the next row. If I click the cell again, it will display 39114 again. I try to clear all the format, and still won't do any good. Thanks for the help. |

What do you want the display to look like?
39114 is the Excel serial number for February 01, 2007 If the cell is formatted as General it will display 39114 in the cell and 1/02/2007 in the formula bar. If formatted to date the cell will display whatever date format you choose. The formula bar will continue to show 1/02/2007 Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Thu, 1 Feb 2007 13:22:00 -0800, pamwp wrote: When I enter the date as 1/2 and hit enter, it automatically display as 39114.
