Hi,
Say a text-date is in A1, in B1: =Value(A1) It returns the number; just format column B as a date Sebastien "simsjr" wrote: I have a column of dates, but they're in text format. How can I convert the text "02/05/05" into an actual date? |

Another way is Search and Replace: Replace / with /. That forces Excel to
re-evaluate the cell contents. On Wed, 9 Feb 2005 15:09:04 -0800, simsjr wrote: I have a column of dates, but they're in text format. How can I convert the text "02/05/05" into an actual date? |
