Copy from one worksheet to another changes the year from 2009 to 2
Formatting of the first worksheet is custom d/mm/yyyy hh:mm. But when the
cell is copied and pasted to a new worksheet the year changes from 2009 to 2013. I'm running Excel 2007 (Office 2007 SP 2 12.0.6514.5000) and Windows 7. Have just upgraded to Win . I've never experienced this problem with dates before! Cant seem to find any info about what may be causing this. Any assistance appreciated. Pete |

From Excel Options check whether the option '1904 date system' is checked
If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Peter Edwards" wrote: Formatting of the first worksheet is custom d/mm/yyyy hh:mm.

Saved from a previous post:
One workbook was using a base year of 1900 and the other was using 1904. (tools|options|calculation tab|1904 date system) One way to add those four years back is to find an empty cell, put 1462 into that cell. Copy that cell. Select your range that contains the dates. Edit|PasteSpecial|click Add (in the operation box). You may have to reformat the cell as a date (mine turned to a 5 digit number). But it should work. You may want to do it against a copy...just in case. (I'm not sure which one you'll fix. You may want to edit|pastespecial|click subtract.) Most windows users use 1900 as the base date. Mac users (mostly??) use 1904 as the base date. Peter Edwards wrote: Formatting of the first worksheet is custom d/mm/yyyy hh:mm.
