Find and replace date


Posted by Pat on February 10, 2002 9:23 PM

I have a column of dates (2/6/02) that I want to "find and replace with 2/13/02. I highlight the column (only 15 rows of a much longer column), go to edit, select find and put in whats already in that column (2/6/02) and what I want the old date replaced with (2/14/02). It gives a message saying no cells contain data. I'm looking at the data, its highlighted but cannot find it. What's going on with that?????????

In the formula bar, what appears. You probably need to use for digit year format, ie 02/6/2002 and 02/13/2002.
