I am in USA. The macro is being used in South Africa. Dates in SA are
written ddmmyy. 12/02/08 is Feb. 12, 08 and not Dec 2, 08. I am having a problem with the way Excel is formating the date. This is the code I am using: The date is 12/02/08 (Feb 02, 08) 1) Example With ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0) .NumberFormat = "ddmmyy" .Value = RunDate(MyNum) .HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter End With 1) When you look at the worksheet cell (A19) the date appears as 021208 in the cell. Click on the cell, at the formula windows it shows 12/2/2008. I need the cell (A19) to show 120208. Because of this it sorts incorrectly and places the values in the incorrect location. It sorts based on Dec 2 08. 2) Example With ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0) .Value = Format(RunDate(MyNum), "ddmmyy") .HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter End With It now sorts correct. But I think only because the value 21208 is small than 130208. But when you look at the worksheet cell (A2) the value appears as 21208 in the cell. Click on the cell, at the formula windows it shows 21208. I need the cell (A2) to show 120208. And the program needs to think it is Feb 12 08. The worksheet that the data is printed to is created when the macro runs. Thanks for your help. |
