How to convert date to text
 

I have a field - date. Let's say that one of the values is 6/20/05.
How can I convert it to a number field, for example 6/20/05
will be shown as 20050605?

Thanks,

galsaba

=TEXT(A1,"yyyymmdd")

Try =YEAR(A1)*10000+MONTH(A1)*100+DAY(A1)
But you MUST format the cell after typing the formula because Excel wants a
date format
