In a helper column................ =TEXT(A1,"mmmm-dd-yyyy") You choose the format within the double quotes Copy and paste special(in place)valuesokesc Delete column A Or copy and paste special(onto column A) Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Wed, 14 Apr 2010 13:06:07 -0700, SallyP wrote: Hi , I would like to convert my date which is formatted as mm/dd/yy to a text format but i dont want to change the way the date looks.
