convert date mm/dd/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy
I am in the US. How can I convert dates from the US format to Euorpean but
still have the dates be dates and not text. The custom format dd/mm/yyyy makes the dates display the correct way but they are still actually in the US format. -- maryj |

<they are still actually in the US format.
They're not. There is no internal "date format". Dates are stored as the number of days since 1-1-1900 (the date serial number). They are displayed according to the format string. Format as General to check that both dates represent the same date serial number. -- Kind regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "maryj" wrote in message ... |I am in the US.
