Hi Robert,
no, you were right to change the semicolon to comma, and it has nothing to
do with the date changing. I'm in Brazil, and here (like in most countries
except the USA) we use the point as a thousands separator and the comma in
place of the decimal point, so Excel here uses semicolons instead of commas
in formulas, to avoid confusion. When I sent the message to you, I changed
the semicolons in my formula to commas, to agree with the american format,
but one of them slipped by <G>.
