I am trying to retrieve an activecell's format. If it is a text format or anything other than a date format then change it to a date format like 1/1/2011. If it is a date and is formated like 1/1/2011 12:00:01 PM then change it to 1/1/2011, short date format.

Thanks,


rirus

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
Hi,

Are you after something like this?

Code:
    If IsDate(ActiveCell) Then ActiveCell.NumberFormat = "d/m/yyyy"
