    Change date to text with a function in VBE

    Hi,

    I am trying to create a macro that uses a function to copy the date from one column as text in a another column. The type of notation should be yyyy-mm. The problem is that i have a dutch excel version and therefore the months and days are swapped.

    Is there a way to do this?
    Any input is appreciated!
    Thanks in advance

    You could simply prefix it with an apostrophe:
