Number or text to date
If you have a whole column of this stuff, you can select that range
data|text to columns fixed width (but erase any lines that excel guessed) choose date (ymd or ydm -- difficult to guess with your sample) And finish up the wizard. Then you can format those dates anyway you want via: format|Cells|Number tab. Nabellfl wrote: I need to change 20020102 into the date format 01/02/2002. Any suggestions? -- Dave Peterson |
