I am working on a spreadsheet that someone else created. The dates are set
as e.g. 13.03.09 - I want this to read 13/03/09 I have tried formatting cells to date dd/mm/yy and clicking ok but it doesn't alter anything. Apart from going in and altering each cell individually nothing else seems to work. Please help -- Kaz

Hi Gordon
Thanks for the reply. It didn't actually work as my dates are all different. Thanks for trying anyway. -- Kaz "Gordon" wrote: Karray wrote: I am working on a spreadsheet that someone else created.
