Select the column(s) Right-Click Format Cells... (new window) Number Date (select your preferred format) If the format you want does not appear, goto Custom In the type box, key in your format, (yyyy-mm-dd) will format the date as 2006-05-28 -- bgeier ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bgeier's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=12822 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=546126 |

If you're looking for help, you need to define what "no luck" means. How else
will we know how to help you? If you're saying that you tried to reformat the cell, and nothing changed, then you likely have text stored, rather than an Excel date. So try this: Enter a date in a cell, eg, 5/12/2006 Now apply the formatting changes that were suggested. Did it change the format as expected? If so, you now know you can reformat dates. You simply need to change your original text to dates. -- Regards, Fred "Gerald" wrote in message ...
