Hello one of two lines are not working in Macro


Columns("C:C").NumberFormat = "[$-x-sysdate]dddd, mmmm dd, yyyy"
Columns("D:D").NumberFormat = "[$-x-sysdate]dddd, mmmm dd, yyyy"


Only works for column C. I have tried combining the lines "C:D", reversing order, and only having line for D. Column D is not reformatting. Any clues?

Easy bullets in Excel
If you have a numeric keypad, press Alt+7 on numeric keypad to type a bullet in Excel.
What happens with the below?

Code:
Columns("D:D").Replace What:="/", Replacement:="-", LookAt:=xlPart
Columns("C:D").NumberFormat = "[$-x-sysdate]dddd, mmmm dd, yyyy"

Figured out the problem. Sorry for wasting your time. Problem was with another part of the macro.


Columns("F:F").Select
Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("F1"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=True, _
Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=False, FieldInfo _
:=Array(1, 3), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True


Columns("J:J").Select
Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("I1"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=True, _
Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=False, FieldInfo _
:=Array(1, 3), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True


I will be experimenting with outlook integration. Will probably have problems. Ill post under new thread. Thanks again
