Hi all,
I'm very very new to programming concepts so bare with me.
I have a column of dates(100+ sometimes). I make a copy of the column so I know what the dates are.
Then, I select the entire column, right-click and go to format cells. Then I convert the entire column to text format. Some of the dates gets converted to datevalue number. I go back and manually type in the dates from the original copy(cell by cell). This is very tedious/time consuming and plain ol boring.
Couple of points to consider is:
I need is the row has to be in text format.
I can't use "custom format" for the cell like dd-mm-yyyy
I can't change the regional settings to UK in control panel.
I can't have slashes eg. dd/mm/yyyy it won't work
The dates should display as dd-mm-yyyy again in text format.
It's a peculiar situation since i'm transfering this file to another program and that programs accepts this crazy format.
Is there a way to automate this process??
Thanks much...
