Format Date
I am trying to format a date in a cell. The date within the cell reads
9/10/07, but 39335 is displayed on-screen. I know the standard procedure on how to change the format of a cell to date/ number etc., but there is definitely something wrong here. I have tried formatting the cells to different things, but the cell continues to read this same data stream. |

Format Date
Never Mind! Somehow, I had hit a shortcut key that displayed all formulas.
I turned this off in tools/options and the dates displayed fine. "rah44" wrote: I am trying to format a date in a cell. The date within the cell reads 9/10/07, but 39335 is displayed on-screen.

Could be you are in "Formula View".
Hit CTRL + `(backquote above Tab key) to toggle out of formula view. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Thu, 13 Sep 2007 10:58:02 -0700, rah44 wrote: I am trying to format a date in a cell.
