Robert,
It works here for me too (but I'm using XL2003)
The #value error means that a function was expecting data of one form
(i.e. a number) and it got something else. Normally Excel is pretty
good about changing data from one form to another but obviously no in
your case.
So, to see which of your cells might not have the right format do a
series of changes to your formula.
like this
=IF(AND(1932<>0,B1<>0,C1<>0),DATE(1932,B1,C1),"Check date")
=IF(AND(1932<>0,7<>0,C1<>0),DATE(1932,7,C1),"Check date")
=IF(AND(1932<>0,7<>0,20<>0),DATE(1932,7,20),"Check date")
Make these changes one at a time and it will show you which cell has the
wrong data format behind it
good luck
Mike Clare
