Default Replace Date Problem

In Excel 2003 and 2007, I'm having the same problem. I want to replace all
occurrences of 06/30/08 with 07/31/08. I can only find 06/30/08 if I search
values and not formulas. However, when I try to do the replace, I only have
the option to replace formulas, so I can't do the replace. Help!

Default Replace Date Problem

Mary,

Is 6/30/08 based from a Formula, or is it a Value?
Say you have a formula, and you are telling it to return 6/30/08, then you
would have to replace the value that the formula is returning, OR is your
6/30/08 a value to begin with?

Default Replace Date Problem

Thomas,

It's a value - I typed in 6/30/08. I just realized, though, that it stored
it as 6/30/2008. When I use that for my find and replace, it works. Thanks
for your help.
