reformatting dates
10/3/2007
Thu Oct 4, 2007 Sat Oct 6, 2007 Tue Oct 9, 2007 Thu Oct 11, 2007 Sat Oct 13, 2007 Mon Oct 15, 2007 I have a series of dates....when I try to reformat them all to m/d/ yyyy only some of them are changing from the current expanded day month date, year The first one here changed but the others didn't. Any suggestions?? I'm thinking I might have to convert them all to something and then format to what I want. ....Lisa |

reformatting dates
I'm guessing that you have text instead of numbers ni those cells. in an
adjacent column, put this formula and come back and let us know what you see. =ISNUMBER(A1) " wrote: 10/3/2007 Thu Oct 4, 2007 Sat Oct 6, 2007 Tue Oct 9, 2007 Thu Oct 11, 2007 Sat Oct 13, 2007 Mon Oct 15, 2007 I have a series of dates....when I try to reformat them all to m/d/ yyyy only some of them are changing from the current expanded day month date, year The first one here changed but the others didn't.

I would assume the dates that don't change are text.
Try this.............. DataText to ColumnsFixed widthNext Double-click on the separation line you don't want leaving just the line between the day and the date. NextSelect Skip the column with days and Finish.
