When I type dates in cells on an Excel spreadsheet they become a series of
hashes. But other dates of the same format in other workbooks are fine. Why
does this error keep on occuring. I think may be the cells are not in the
right format for me to add dates. Can i change this??

Hi

Try widening the columns. Does this resolve the problem?

The number hash usually means that the cell is not wide enough to
display the information.

Try resizing the columns - that should work.

Good luck
