Hi all,
I have a problem with date formatting. i have the following dates in MM/DD/YYYY format: 4/1/2010 4/2/2010 04/15/2010 when i tried to re-format the date, the 1st 2 column is formatted sucessfully but the last date will always remain unchange no matter what format is selected. Can anyone please explain the reason for this issue? |

Yes.
As you will have now realised, if your Windows Regional Settings in Control Panel (not Excel) are expecting DMY, not MDY, then 04/15/2010 will be treated as text, not a date. -- David Biddulph "pothios" wrote in message ... resolved the problem by changing locale.
