Morning all, Happy Friday!!
A system I use spits out a document directly into Excel, but frustratingly some of the columns have numbers like 1-1 (one of one) or 3-9 (three of nine), and Excel is converting these numbers to dates.
Is there an easy way to convert these back to the original system numbers?
If there's no simple method of conversion that doesn't involve lots of retyping then, I would love to build something in VBA whereby the user clicks a button on a sheet, it prompts the user to choose the file to format and then it does all the formatting and then prompts to save.
Bottom line, I want the quickest solution possible please... And I know someone out there knows the pesky solution
