Dates showing a serial numbers result from two things:
Cell have wrong format - you have checked that Worksheet is in "Display Formulas" mode; try CTRL+` (the key next to 1 on top row) best wishes -- Bernard Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme "villandro" wrote in message ...

excel 2007 date problem when saving as 2003
ok i figure out a workaround since i cannot save a file from excel 2007 to
2003 without getting this formatting error i created a new file and copy all the old stuff to the new file i did Paste Special and chose Microsoft Excel 8.0 Format and now it seems to work but still i cannot just hit save as 97 - 2003 format cuz it will not format the date hope if somebody has the same problem this might help "Bernard Liengme" wrote: Dates showing a serial numbers result from two things: Cell have wrong format - you have checked that Worksheet is in "Display Formulas" mode; try CTRL+` (the key next to 1 on top row) best wishes -- Bernard Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme "villandro" wrote in message ...
