>= Trouble

[AcesUp]

Ok this is one of those one that is probably so simple I've overlooking the obvious solution.

I have two sheets, on sheet one in A1 I have 09/12/2005

On sheet two in cell B1 I would like to use a formula (or anything that will work) that looks at cell A1 on sheet 1 and then formats it to read,

>=09/12/2005

I've tried =IF(Sheet1!A1>1,">=Sheet1!A1") but this just left the cell to read,

>=Sheet1!A1

Which doesn't work when I try and apply a advanced filter.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Try this out. Note that I've added a check to see if either the month or day is less than ten, and if so, lead that figure with a zero.

=">="&IF(MONTH(Sheet1!A1)<10,"0"&MONTH(Sheet1!A1),MONTH(Sheet1!A1))&"/"&IF(DAY(Sheet1!A1)<10,"0"&DAY(Sheet1!A1),DAY(Sheet1!A1))&"/"&YEAR(Sheet1!A1)

Sorry, never mind.

Excel Geek,

Excellent solution it worked perfectly I just had to change it slightly so the day and month read in the UK style.

I feel slightly relieved it was fairly complicated after all (for me anyway).

Thanks again.
