I have a column of cells with a date formatting like Jun-04. I would like to place a column beside it that has the serial date so I can sort the column in chronological order. Any ideas? Thanks,

Eddie

Are these actually dates, just formatted for month/year?

If they are then you shouldn't need to change them to sort them.
