all the time.

Hi Tom,

The date serial is stored as a number i think. It's
alignment is
towards the right side of the cell.

I tried to select a particular cell after that by doing:


*Range("F4").Select*

But still it didn't select the cell :(

is if your
date
serial is being stored as a string rather than a number.

I defined a function in VBA that converts dates keyed
in as YYYYMMDD
to
be displayed as DD/MM/YYYY using "DateValue" command
as well as the
Left, Mid and Right functions

However, excel will only display the dates in the
serial numbers.

After the conversion into serial numbers (before 'end
function'), i
had
this:


*ActiveCell.Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "dd/mm/yyyy"*

But somehow, it doesn't select that cell to convert
into dd/mm/yyyy
format.
I have to manually right click the cell and format it
as date.

Is there anyway to do this in VBA ?
