Display of Date in Linked Cell
I have a spreadsheet I'm using as a summary of other sheets in the same book.
I have linked cells formatted for dates. Even though there are no dates yet in the cells of the other sheets, the summary sheet shows 1/1/1900. Is there any way to set it up to show a date only when there is one in the linked cell? -- Thanks |

your receiving cell doesnt have to be formatted as date,but it will show 0 if
there is no date in the sending cell.Try =if(<sending cell="","",<sending cell) in your receiving cell -- paul remove nospam for email addy!

Thanks, Paul
Unfortunately, I'm having trouble inserting the formula you sent. Does anything go between the quotation marks?
