    Combo box cell link showing wrong date

    Hi all!

    i have a list where a dates are. i put that list into combo box using combo box input range field. Then i wanted to use Cell link to get chosen date from combo box, but that cell link shows that date wrong. All field for dates list and cell link are formatted in the same way. for example i choose first date from combo box (20.9.2011) i got 1.1.1900 on the cell link cell. is the 1.1.1900 first date in excel? what should i do to get a right date?

    linked cell is showing the seqance no of the date you select in combo box

    linked cell should be further linked through index function to get correct date

    you may upload a sample workbook with sample data and your desired results
