Help With DATEVALUE
I am sure this has come up before. I wish to return a date in cell (say) B1
to the datevalue in (say) cell B2. Yes, I can type the date in the formula using quotes, but what I want to do is reverence (say) cell B1 in the formula and have it return the datevalue. Can anyone tell me how to effect this? I don't mind using a workaround, but I would not like to use a macro unless necessary. TIA, Dick Frederick |

If B2 contains a date just use this formula in B1
=B2 format as date "Dick Frederick" wrote: I am sure this has come up before. I wish to return a date in cell (say) B1 to the datevalue in (say) cell B2.

Help With DATEVALUE
Thank you. I finally found the function that I needed, the N function which
turns a date into the Excel number for that date. Problem solved. "daddylonglegs" wrote in message ...

But does the N function actually give a different number in the cell from
what you get with =B2? Isn't it merely a question of cell format as to whether you see a date or a number? -- David Biddulph "Dick Frederick" wrote in message ... Thank you.
