Fill Series Dates: not letting me change the series from year to m
Hi, I am using 2003 and was copying a series of dates from a spreadsheet (
2003) into a new spreadsheet. I then wanted to use the Fill Series to display ascending months on these dates e.g. 01/01/2008, 02/01/2008 etc. However, it is only doing the years in a series. I went into EditFill Series and selected DATE and MONTH as my settings but still no joy. Is their some settings that is preventing me from changing the series automatically? -- Regards Mike |

Fill Series Dates: not letting me change the series from year to m
Check the entry in the cells after the copy process... I think you will find
an apostrophe in front of each "date" meaning they are not dates, but text that looks like a date. If you remove the apostrophes, it should then work as you expect. Rick "Mike" wrote in message ...
