Date to Text
Hi, this is probably easy but I cant work it out. If I have 28/1/05 in
a cell, formated as dates, how can I retain the 28/1/05 when changing to text format, at the momment it change to numbers (31...). Ive got hundreds of dates to convert, I Know I can type ' infront of the date and this works, but there must be a quicker way. Regards Robert |

Depending on what exactlyyou need to do, another option would be to use the
TEXT function: =TEXT(A1,"dd/mm/yyyy") Regards, KL wrote in message ups.com... Hi, this is probably easy but I cant work it out.
