Dear Expert,

I was wandering how to make exel separate dates.

For example:
In column A I have a date 2010 04 01; in column B I have number 23 ; in C
number 25. In rows from 1 to 10 I have the same 2010 04 01 date with the
different numbers in columns B and C. In rows from 11 to 20 I have different
date 2010 04 02 and in colums B and C different numbers.
I want to make some counting with the numbers in columns B and C, but I need
that exel understood the different date because I need to count 45 000
different dates.
Please, tell me how to make exel separate different dates, o to make it
understand different dates.
Thank you.

Use the DATE function - this assumes your date is in cell A2
=DATE(LEFT(a2,4),MID(a2,6,2),RIGHT(a2,2))

You can then format the date to your liking (right click, choose Format
Cells... )
