format a date - linked from different tab
I have one tab pulling in dates from another tab on a worksheet. But I am
unable to format the dates as every time I refresh the data, the dates (that are pulled from the other tab) revert back to their own formatting. Some read with a time, some as 1/1/08, some as 1-Jan-08? What is wrong? |

Are you copying/pasting? If so, when you copy/paste unless you paste special,
you are also copying formats. If not, you could try: =TEXT(Sheet2!A2,"mm/dd/yyyy") Hope this helps. -- John C "jules" wrote: I have one tab pulling in dates from another tab on a worksheet.
