Default when I download from the web a "date"...


when I download from the web a date,such as 06/12/2004,in excel it i
not in date format.

I need a date in date format,so I can run a macro.

how can I solve the problem?

ex:
if the downloaded date is in cell c4,if in cell d4 I have th
formula:=c4+1,if I click I get:#value!

many thanks

select the column and do Data=Text to Columns. Go through the dialogs.
On the last dialog, define the format of the date (the date order) for the
single column you have selected.
