    Re: NUMBER FORMAT Problem

    Select column F and go to Home|Conditional Formatting|New Rule

    Select Use a formula to determine which cells to format and then enter: =$H1="M"

    Then click Format and choose Date format from the Number tab

    then click Ok.

    Click Ok to finish.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
