Date format

Can you change the date format to US format (MM/DD/YR)?

RE: date format

Hi Anja

Select the date on your worksheet e.g. 16/10/07
Choose Format, Cells
Choose Date Category
Change Locale (Location) to USA
Choose 3/14/01 - which is really 14th March 01

If you need this format saved in your workbook
Choose Format, Cells
Category: Choose Custom
Type in the right column: mm/dd/yy for 10/16/07
or: mm/dd/yyyy for 10/16/2007

Hope this helps
Sandy

MS Project tip:

Link tasks using predecessor column - project

a. First, note ID number of the task you want to link to (predecessor). Then, in the predecessor column of the task you want to link to (successor), type the predecessor task's ID number.
b. The link will be a Finish to Start (the default type).
c. Or you can add in a code for a different relationship type
i. SS = Start to Start
ii. FF = Finish to Finish
iii. SF = Start to Finish
d. You don't have to type the task ID numbers in any specific order, but you must separate multiple tasks with commas.
