Date values

[blaisjoel]

I have a cell containing today's date and formatted as 14 mars 2019. When assigning this value to a variable, it returns as 3/14/19. How do I get excel to assign the proper value?

DateToday = Cells(4, 4).Value

Hi there. It depends on what you mean by 'proper value'. Excel treats dates as a sequential number, it displays that number in various ways depending on the format set. The actual value assigned to DateToday in your example is 43538 which is the number of days since jan 1st 1900. You just need to treat the variable correctly depending on what you are trying to do with it.

Hope this helps.

I just want the program to copy the value in the cell and not the date behind it.

How about

DateToday = Cells(4, 4).Text
