Hi there

Good morning

For example, you type 3rd March 2019 it shows as03/03/2019.
Does any body have any ides to makes sure all my date isshown and set in the same format for all columns?
Many Thanks

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Hello!

you can create additional columns and then create a formula:
=TEXT(your_cell_with_date_here,"DD/MM/YYYY").

Hope this helps!
