Calculations with different date formats
Hi,
I have a date and time in a single cell in a worksheet, with the format "dd/mm/yy hh:mm". I have written a function to determine what crew is working at this particular time. However, VBA has the date format as mm/dd/yy and this seems to give me the wrong answers. How can I force VBA to interpret my date format correctly? The function code is as follows: Public Function Crew(DTS) Dim BaseDTS, CrewShifts1, CrewShifts2 Dim ShiftsSince, LookupShift BaseDTS = #5/2/2005# + 8 / 24 'May 2, 2005 08:00 ShiftsSince = (DTS - BaseDTS) * 2 etc etc End Function TIA, Derek |

Calculations with different date formats
Hi Derek,
The format does not affect the calculation. If you return just the #5/2/2005# as result and format it your way, you'll see that is displayed correctly as 02/05/05 etc -- Kind Regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "Derek" wrote in message oups.com...

Calculations with different date formats
Hi Derek,
How can I force VBA to interpret my date format correctly? User DateSerial(y,m,d) instead of the #m/d/y# style, which welcomes confusion. Regards Stephen Bullen Microsoft MVP - Excel Professional Excel Development The most advanced Excel VBA book available www.oaltd.co.uk/ProExcelDev |
