Default Date and time field

Hi,

Wonder if someone can help me please.

I have a spreadsheet that contains a huge amount of data, one element of
which is a date and time field.

Once I have sorted through this data I then import it to a database. The
only problem is when I run a date query in the DB, because of the time
element it doesn't work correctly and in all honesty I don't need the time
element of data.

Can someone tell me please how I would programatically take out the time
element from this range of data. I know I can format the field just to show
the date, but the data with the time is still present in the cell.

The format for the column of data is currently dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm if that
helps. I did look at other ways to try and work with the data as it was
(thanks to those who provided the information then), but I feel this is the
best way to deal with it.

Thanks and regards

Chris
