Convert hard keyed/formatted numbers to dates
Have data that is supposed to be dates, e.g., 06-29-06, that has been
formatted with a custom number format of 00-00-00. I need to convert it/them to actual dates; however, the number is really 62906, which converts to 03/23/72, not 06/29/06. Help! and THANKS!! -- Marv Lusk |
