date based question
Since you posted to a programming newsgroup, I assume your question is
asking for a VB solution... use the Text property of the Range or Cells objects to get the text that is in the cell instead of its underlying value. For example, if A1 contains a date formatted as you indicated, then this will copy the displayed text into the cell B1... Range("B1").Valued = Range("A1").Text -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "jason" wrote in message ... hello, i need to copy a date formatted as "yyyymmdd" (preferably as a string). each time i copy it, i copy the mm/dd/yyyy format when i copy cells (x,y).value or any other form. any tips would be a huge help |

For the example you gave, this cell...
Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(4, q + 1) has nothing in it. I think the problem goes back to this statement... Cells(4, 3) = 2009 In particular, the 3... your previous statements use 2 for the column. Was the 3 a mistake? If you change it to 2, the code you posted appears to work correctly. As an unrelated aside, you should consider prefacing all the cell references with your worksheet reference, not just some of them. -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "jason" wrote in message ...
