p.s. i also tried cell formatting as yyyymmdd, then = "Hello" & A1 - but it
doesn't import the format to a string "JethroUK©" wrote in message ... How would i convert a date to number as a string e.g. 10/05/2005 "20050510" note the month is 2 digit - 05 i cant see Format(A1,"yyyy,mm,dd") & i tried = year(a1) & month(a1) & day(a1) but it returns month as single "2005510" |

You can try with TEXT, like this:
=TEXT(A1,"yyyymmdd") Miguel. "JethroUK©" wrote: p.s. i also tried cell formatting as yyyymmdd, then = "Hello" & A1 - but it doesn't import the format to a string "JethroUK©" wrote in message ...

There may be better ways but:
=TEXT(YEAR(E10),"####")&TEXT(MONTH(E10),"0#")&TEXT (DAY(E10),"0#") returns what you are looking for -- HTH Sandy In Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland with @tiscali.co.uk "JethroUK©" wrote in message ...
