ERROR
I was emailed an excel sheet. It has dates on it like 2/28/00 and I have the
option of converting it from xx to xxxx but when i do that, i cannot use them in formulas unless i type in the date again. Anyway to not have to do that but make the dates usable? Thanks |

Hi!
One possibility is that the dates are actually text. Try this: Select the cells with the "dates". Goto DataText to Columns Just click Next, Next, Finish.
