---Copy---
assuming your dates are in the format YYYY-MM-DD, you can use
=DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MID(A1,6,2),RIGHT(A1,2))
(assuming the date is in cell A1) to return the number used by Excel as
the
corresponding date.
To get around the question marks, you might complete the formula as
such:
=IF(AND(ISNUMBER(VALUE(LEFT(A1,4))),ISNUMBER(VALUE(MID(A1,6,2)));ISNUMBE
R(VALUE(RIGHT(A1,2)))),DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MID(A1,6,2),RIGHT(A1,2)),0)
which will return the date if Year, Month and Day are numeric and return
zero if any of them are not.
---End---
ISNUMBER. Thank you. That was a new one on me, and I must have totally
missed it when reading the book.
Thank you again.
Robert
