can I format dates older than 1900
I manage a database for my church and i ran into a problem. Can I format a
date to YYYY/MM/DD before the year 1900? I changed the format in my file but it only affected dated after 1900. |

Excel doesn't support dates before 1900.
You could just enter the date as text, though. But if you're doing arithmetic with these dates, you could get John Walkenbach's addin: http://j-walk.com/ss/excel/files/xdate.htm demangeo wrote: I manage a database for my church and i ran into a problem.
