Date Entry
Excel 2007, Vista Business, US English.
I was able to use Ctrl+; with cells formatted dd/mmm in Excel 2003 and the result was e.go. 14/May. Now with similar cell formatting I get 14/5/2007 when I use the Ctrl+; Does anyone know what is going on? TIA |

Hi Daniel,
The difference is your cell formatting before using Ctrl+; The 14/May would have a cell format of dd/mmm but the 14/5/2007 probably had a default cell format of General the entry is a date so it used your short regional date format the probably looks like d/m/yyyy in your Control Panel, Dates For more information on Date and Time see http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/datetime.htm --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Daniel L.
