For example, if the cell contains 080505, how do we now whether this represents 8-May-2005 or 5-Aug-2005? (If you are going to automate this process, there needs to be some kind of rule for the conversion). Also, when you say there is the date along with text, what exactly is the contents of the cell. i.e. what is in the formula bar? what does the cell show if formatted as General? I doubt the above can be done solely with a "command". However, there may be a combination of command and formulas, or formulas alone, or a VBA routine, that can accomplish your goals. --ron |

Give examples.
Are the dates in the same CELLS as the 'along with some text'? If so, are the dates always in the same position? If so, are the dates always the same length? Can't help without this information. -- Gary Brown "Ankur" wrote: i have a sheet where in some cells the date are in ddmmyy format along with text & in some cells mmddyy format along with text. is there any command to change all in mmddyy format |
