It appears my Excel behavior has changed, but where I do not know. Suppose AY3 = "1837-AUG-06" in text. In D3, I say =AY3 so that I see the date. Yesterday and before, it would do that. Today it is showing me 0 (zero). The difference between yesterday and today is today I downloaded an addin from Microsoft. The addin is a forms wizard, not anything I thought would change something like this. Where would that ability to get changed? I would like to change it back. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
