Macros

Are Macros from excel 2003 compatable with excel 2007

RE: Macros

Hi Steve, Thank you for the post, In answer to your question Excel 2007 is supposed to be backwardly compatible with Excel 2003, therefore anything created in 2003 should work in 2007, but sometimes ....... need I say more, the only way you can be absolutly sure is try it, Macros perform very specific tasks which are user defined, copying mouse clicks and key presses. Remember if you have to use your 2007 files in 2003 to save them as 97 - 2003 compatible files. Best of luck. Pete

Excel tip:

Converting an American date format to European using Formula

Excel depending on your local setting will only pick up date values of the dd mmm yyyy oders as date type. If you import data from various sources including America their date order is different with data value in mmm dd yyyy, excel can only treat it as text indicated by left aligning it. To overcome this you have to do the the following.

1. Extract the date components mmm dd yyyy, by using the the Text functions LEFT, MID or RIGHT

2. Reorder dd mmm component and concatenate using "&" in the right order this will create a text string with the date in the right order it then needss to be converted to a value so excel can recognise it.

3. To convert to value encase in TEXT function.

4. Format to desired date format.
