Excel Date Problem
Hi Guys,
Can you help me with a little problem. I am running a macro on a csv file. There are 4 dates in the format dd/mm/yy and I format them to dd mmm yyyy. So the cell A1 originally has the value 25/12/05, I format it so the cell A1 now has 25 Dec 2005 When I try to concatenate "Date Reported : " & A1. Instead of getting Date Reported : 25 Dec 2005 I get Date Reported : 25/12/05 Cell A1 is back in it's original format although on the screen it is showing as the new format I.E. 25 Dec 2005 What is going on here? how do I get the cell to keep it's new format so when I use the value from the cell it's the correct format. Thanks for your help. Best Regards, Steve Wilson. |

Excel Date Problem
Hi Gordon,
I also posted in the Microsoft.Public.Excel Group. Got some good answers there too. Main ones were For VBA HoldPrevYearDate = "Previous Year: " _ & Format(activeworkbook.worksheets("sheet99").range( "a1").value, "dd mmm yyyy") For Excel HoldPrevYearDate = "Date Reported: "&TEXT(A1,"dd mmm yyyy") Best Regards, Steve Wilson.
