How do you change the date to a Number
How do you change the date to a Number, example Jan 1, 2005 is the 1st day of
the year and so on... |
Hi
do you mean something like =A1-DATE(2004,12,31) and format as number there A1 stores your 2005 date -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany help me wrote: How do you change the date to a Number, example Jan 1, 2005 is the 1st day of the year and so on... |
Not exactly I mean Jan 1st is the first day of the year, so I want the cell
to have the number one in it. Jan 20, feb 1st is the 32nd day of the year, so I would like the sell to have the number 32 in it.

Even if you have a text format or an apostrophe ' before January 1, 2005,
=day(a1) will yield 1 -- Don Guillett SalesAid Software "help me" <help wrote in message ... How do you change the date to a Number, example Jan 1, 2005 is the 1st day of the year and so on... |

different cell but someting is wrong. the cell says #value now. where did I go wrong..

Hi
but this should just do this: In A1 enter your date in B1 for example enter this formula (and format this cell as 'Number') -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany help me wrote: Not exactly I mean Jan 1st is the first day of the year, so I want the cell to have the number one in it.
