I am trying to change the date format in a spreadsheet and nothing seems to work.
The dates are coming in as 'dd.mm.yyyy ... I have tried removing the ', but when I delete it, excel puts it back. I tried doing a alt edit replace, but excel says it can't find the ' in the cells.
I have tried using =Value and =DATEVALUE to see if I can get a number that way and then format that to a date, but that doesn't work either.
So I am not sure what is up with the formatting of these dates and why it won't let me change them.
I need to change them to just be dd-MON-yy so I can filter on them. As they are now, the filter won't clump them together by Months.
Thoughts, suggestions?
