Excel changes dates in copy and paste
 
Posts: n/a
Default Why does Excel Copy and Paste change dates from the original when.

When copying and pasting dates, Excel pastes strange dates. Where do these
come from and how do I stop this from occurring?

Copy and paste from where to where?

Perhaps the "dates" you are copying are Text and not real dates.

Give an example of a "strange date".
