I receive a spreadsheet now and then with date columns that only show the date and when you select the cell you see date and time. I need to only see the date as the time being there in sort of phantom mode seems to mess up some formulas.

Any suggestions?

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
There are many different date/time formats you can choose, or create your own using the Custom option (i.e. MM/DD/YYYY). This is all found under Format | Cells | Number.

You can also the use TEXT function, though then it will change the format to be Text, not Date, i.e.

=TEXT(A1,"MM/DD/YYYY")

I would be intersested in seeing your formulas though, as just changing the format shouldn't have any affect on then.
