Data formating
my dates show as 23-sep-1980, i cannot seem to change this format to numbers only.
RE: data formating
Hi Lorna
Thanks for your question
We first need to check if the dates are in fact being entered in a recognisible date format. Can you check to see if they are right or left aligned in the cell, and then please advise me.
If left aligned then they are being formated as text, and this would explain the problem
Thanks

Hi Stephen,
thanks for getting back to me, yes the dates are left aligned always.
I have to import the data from our MIS (SIMS.NET), and i dont think i can change anything!!!
thanks

Hi Lorna
Further to your series of posts, Stephen has notified me of your current requirements. Having discussed this we agree that a solution is available but is beyond the scope of this forum.
I shall email you directly with our proposed action.
kind regards
