Hi there

Good morning


I have a spreadsheet which has a few date columns and I wantto make use that however enter the date that it always shows in the same formatno matter how they type in the date.
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
Leicester Fox


 

Excel Facts

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Hello!

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

Hope this helps!
