Hi,
i have an issue when changing some dates into short date in vba, the macro changes some dates into the correct format which is DD/MM/YYYY without the hours, minutes and seconds, and it leaves me some dates withe the hours, minutes and seconds, i made a quick fix which worked partialy but now it modifies the data that have the HH:MM:SS like MM/DD/YYYY, my quick fix changes the format but not the real value, i'll leave an example below:

What you see in the cell 13/04/2020
What you see when you click in the cell 04/13/2020

Hope you can help me, also i'll put my code here:

VBA Code:

    Dim wb As Workbook
    Dim ws As Worksheet

    Do While iFile <> ""
        Set wb = Workbooks.Add
        Set ws = wb.Sheets(1)
        'ws.Name = iFile

        With ws.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;" & _

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
Please give examples of the problems that you describe above. Give five examples of how the data starts out, how you expect it to end up, and how it actually ends up. Include both examples of where the code works as expected and of course when it does not work as expected.

Do you realize that you included a great deal of code that is completely irrelevant to your problem?
