Date is being copied from Aus format to US format where it needs to be from Aus format to Aus.

[dpaton05]

Could someone help me with a problem I am having please?

I have a spreadsheet that jobs are recorded in called an allocation sheet. The allocation sheet is based on a financial year with a sheet for every month of the year. A job is stored on a single line in the relevant monthly sheet with the date being in column A. The date is stored in the Australian format, d/mm/yyyy on the monthly sheets.

If a job is cancelled at a late stage, 3 hours will still be charged depending on the type of job. I have a sheet called sheet2 that is my calculations sheet and when a late cancel needs to be recorded I have code that copies the job details from the monthly sheet to sheet2 in the allocation sheet file. This is done calculate the price as sheet2 has a table with the hourly prices for the various services.

The problem is that the type of day changes the price, such as weekend, weekday and public holiday.

Here is an example,

CSS Work Allocation Sheet.60.xlsm
	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J
3	Date	Purchase order #	Req #	Name	Service	Requesting Organisation	Caseworker Name	Price ex. GST	GST	Price inc. GST

I4:I5	I4	=IF(E4="Activities",0,H4*0.1)
J4:J5	J4	=I4+H4

Using the 5/08/2021, the code copies the date to sheet2 and this is the result.

J30	J30	=([@[Kms Travelled]]*1.22)
K30	K30	=[Unit Price]*[Hours]

This is where I put in the information regarding the late cancel.

CSS Work Allocation Sheet.60.xlsm
	B	C	D	E	F	G
29	Late Cancel
30	To enter a job as a late cancel, enter a request number first in B32, followed by the date of the proposed job in B37. The date must be entered in the format x/xx/xxxx
31	Request number
32	4356
33	Everytime you leave this sheet and return, this will be 3
34	Hours charged for a late cancel
35	3
36	Date
37	5/08/2021
Totals

Notice how the date has been copied to A30 of sheet2 using the american date format. This means that using the australian format, the date is now 8 May instead of 5 August. This creates a problem as the 8 May is a saturday and the 5 August is a weekday so it shows the incorrect price. The date needs to be copied to A30 of sheet 2 in the format d/mm/yyyy instead of m/dd/yyyy.


This is my code in the totals sheet module

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
    Worksheets("Totals").Cells(35, 2).Value = 3
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B27")) Is Nothing Then
    
        Call Transfer
       ' Call SortCells
    
    ElseIf Not Intersect(Target, Range("B37")) Is Nothing Then
    
        Call LateCancel
        
    End If
End Sub

Here is the rest of my code

Sub LateCancel()


        Dim ws As Worksheet, sh As Worksheet, sht As Worksheet, QT As String, wb2 As Workbook, WbPath As String, QTPath As String
        Dim Serv As String, Month As String, Service As String, LCPrice As String, AutoFilterCounter As Long

I am sorry if I have provided too much info, I just wanted to make sure I included everything so someone might be able to help me.

Thanks

Actually, I just found out a reference:

VB & VBA in a Nutshell: The Language

CDate Function Named Arguments No Syntax CDate(expression) expression Use: Required Data Type: String or Numeric Any valid date expression. Return Value expression converted into a Date data type. … - Selection from VB & VBA in a Nutshell: The Language [Book]

www.oreilly.com

"Description
Converts expression to a Date data type. The format of expression—the order of day, month, and year—is determined by the locale setting of your computer. To be certain of a date being recognized correctly by CDate, the month, day, and year elements of expression must be in the same sequence as your computer's regional settings; otherwise the CDate function has no idea that 4 is supposed to be the 4th of the month, not the month of April."
