Hi Dave,

Try something like:

Sub tester01()
Dim Rng As Range

Set Rng = Range("G1:G20")

With Rng
.NumberFormat = "dd /mm/yyyy hh:mm"
.Value = .Value
End With

End Sub

I'm trying to convert a text date - time to internal date format, I can do
this fine by copying the column and past special with add to another
column
and pasting back to the first column.
Ive used record macro to create VBA code to do the same, but get american
date format 12/07/05 06:02 becomes 7/12/05 and 13/12/05 06:05 returns
null.

The VBA code created by the macro recorder is as follows :-


Sub DateFormatter()
'
' DateFormatter Macro
' Macro recorded 12/7/2005 by Johnsd
'

'
Columns("G:G").Select
Selection.Copy
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll ToRight:=2
Columns("N:N").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlAdd,
SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Cut
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll ToRight:=-7
Columns("G:G").Select

ActiveSheet.Paste
Selection.NumberFormat = "d/m/yyyy h:mm"
End Sub

Can anyone help

Thanks in advance
