How do you convert a date field in a excel document to show the numeric value 1 (if a date is present) and an empty field to show 0.

RE: Excel 2013

Hi Alex,

Thank you for the forum question.

You will have to use a separate column.

If your dates or empty cells are in column A use the IsNumber function like this:

=--Isnumber(A2)

This will return 1 if there is a date in A2 and zero if it is blank.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

How to apply the same formatting and data to multiple sheets at the same time in Excel 2010

When you want to format more than one sheet in a worksheet exactly the same way, Ctrl-click the tabs of the sheets you want to group together and they will all turn white. While they are grouped, anything you enter in one sheet gets entered into the others.

After you have done this, remember to click on the tabs to take them out of the group so that you do not accidentally insert data in multiple sheets when you just want to insert data in one.
