Date Formatting in a Macro
 

I have been trying to create a date macro in which I input the date on
the first sheet and it then continues onto the other sheets, I have
been parcially sucessful but I would like the Date to appear in this
format dddd, mmmm dd, yyyy ( Sunday, January 1, 2006) but all I get is
a bunch of pound signs in the excel sheets.

Does anbody have any idea on how to fix this or have a better way of
getting it to do this
and then for some other reason I can't get it to auto run when I open
the workbook.

Hope some one can help

Thanks

How are you putting the date in the cell?
If the date is a result of a formula, is it negative? Negative dates
show up as #'s
Have you tried to autofit the columns?

Date Formatting in a Macro
 

Hold down Ctrl key and left click each SheetTab you wish included. Then
just format and enter the date in one cell on one sheet and it will copy
over to the same cell in each sheet.........

Selection.NumberFormat = "dddd, mmmm, dd, yyyy"

make sure the column is wide enough to display the data, or you will get
####. Or, use Autofit

Selection.Columns.AutoFit
