Changing Dates
I have a large spreadsheet which includes a Date Column. Each row entry
includes a date. I formatted the Date column to show only M/D (Format Cells, Date, m/d). Unfortunately, the year in which the row was entered is still associated with the cell. When I sort based on the date column I get all the January's together and then February. This is what I want except for when you get to page 5 or 6, the months start over because the have the default year. Can I get rid of the year without having to manually enter ' (note the apostrophe) in front of each cell entry? If not, is there a way to change all date entries to include the apostrophe without having to manually change each cell? Thanks for your help, |

In a helper column enter =MONTH(A1) and copy down. Sort by the numbers returned.
