Hi,

This seems a pretty simple question but i cannot find an answer. I'm using an input box to enter a date. When i enter the date the format is dd/mm/yyyy, but on the worksheet it's flipped to mm/dd/yyyy. How can i stop this from happening?

Thanks

Blunder

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
Hi there,

Try like this:

Code:
    iptBox = InputBox("enter date:")
    Cells(1, 1).Value = CDate(iptBox)
