    Question Change date format inside rename formula

    I have a list of files with series date format and I want to rename them using YY-MM-DD format
    The formula I use to rename is ="REN """&F13&""""&" """&G13&""""
    wich I then paste and run on a bat file.
    The problem is even if I change the format on the G13 cell to 09-04-06 on the formula it always shows 39909 independent of the format i use on the formula

    Anyways around this.

    Hi,

    you could use .....&TEXT(G13,"yy-mm-dd")&......
    Rule 1: Never merge cells
    Rule 2: See rule 1
