I took stats from UCONN's women basketball team and put them into excel. Excel automatically switched the heights of each player to dates (ex. 6'2 to June 2, 2006). How do I convert these dates back to heights of the players in inches? Thanks.

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
That helps. But some players heights are 6'0 and were converted to June 1,2006. Therefore when I use your method, it lists them as 6'1 not 6'0/

Hmm. I'm not sure how/why Excel would convert 6'1 to a date. I haven't been able to replicate that. But, if 6'0 and 6'1 were both mapped to June 1, there will not be a way to separate the two; you'd have to do it manually.
