Formula reads date as number
I have a formula that reads a list of dates in cells K5 through K20 and compares these dates to 1 date in cell M3. Cell M3 shows a date but when I run the evaluate formula auditing tool on the formula, M3 dates shows as a number, thus the formula fails. Any help -- pete5761 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pete5761's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=29610 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=494237 |

Formula reads date as number
Dates are stored as number of days since 1-1-1900. So today (dec 16,2005) is
stored as 38702. That's the value you see in the formula evaluator, not how it was formatted. -- Kind regards, Niek Otten "pete5761" wrote in message ...
