Question about modifying dates
I have a large spreadsheets with a list of events and 2 columns for dates.
The date that the even was originally scheduled for and the date that it actually happened. The events go into next year and just realized that starting Jan 1, 2009 the dates are erronously listed in the format 01/01/08 as 2008. So I need to update all the dates from Jan forward to read XX/XX/09, how can I do this without affecting the 2008 dates. |

Question about modifying dates
So you want to change Jan 08 dates to read Jan 09? Presumably also for
Feb 08 and Mar 08 ... etc When do you want to stop, though? up to June 08, August 08 ? Do you want to change all dates, or just the ones in the original schedule column?

Question about modifying dates
I would say the dates are text, not real dates.
Select the first 3 and DataText to ColumnsNextNextColumn Data FormatDateMDY and Finish. Now drag/copy those down the column.
