    Cell format not updated after inserting new value

    Hello together,

    does anybody know how I can force Excel to update the format of a cell after I assigned a new value?

    I want to insert a date into a cell (e.g. 2012/10/10) and the format of the cell is mm/yyyy. Unfortunately Excel only shows the new format after I put the cell into enter mode with F2 and pressed enter.

    Thanks!

    Select the cells you want the formatting requirements,
    Right click and select format cells=>date select the date format you want.

    Thanks but I have to do this with VBA. ;-)
    I read somewhere that
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    could do the trick but that does not really work. Has anybody another idea?

    Thanks!
