I have been working in a worksheet with 10 tabs, and suddenly all of my numbers turned to long date format. I manually changed them all back to what they were. General, Currency, %, etc. but the default seems to be stuck in the long date format. When I create a new tab it is automatically all long dates. Very strange.
Oh, and the other weird thing is when I send it to other people, some people see the correct formats and when other's open it the numbers all go back to the long date format. VERY Frustrating.
Would love to get some advice.
I want to correctly display the latitudes and longitudes of a list of
locations in the typical degree, minute, second format rather than a decimal.
Does anyone know whether or not this is possible?
Hi,
Im currently using With / End With statements to apply formulas or link in data via a named range.
What I want to be able to do is change the property of what I'm linking in to be in date format.
For example I have the code
Set FiscalYrPrd = Range("AG7:AH" & .Range("AA" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
With FiscalYrPrd
.Formula = "=C7"
.Value = .Value
End With
my understanding if that your changing the property of the variable to be a formula and then a value, therefore is it possible to change the format property of the range so its in date format (dd/mm/yy)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
In addition - same request but in numerical format with zero d.p?
Many thanks in advance.

This should be a super-simple formatting question but I can't get it to work.
The columns are very small and I'd like to put in the date or a number and have it span into Column B from Column A.
This works easily with text. But it won't work for me with any number or a date.
I've looked though all the formatting options and can't figure it out.
My first sheet contains the follwing cols.
DATE

and my second sheet contains the date and voucher # of the monthly payments made.

Greetings,
The long date format is:
Code:
[$-F800]dddd, mmmm d, yyyy
But what does the " [$-F800] " do?
Thanks,

Hi all,
I have two columns. Column A contains years, '2010' for example. Column B contains months, 'Jan' or 'Mar' for example. Neither column is in date format. I want to merge them to 'Jan 2010'. Now that's easy enough, but I also want to make the cell a date and i find that much more tricky. In fact I'm lost. Is there anyone who could help me please?
Take care,
Karel

Greetings,
The long date format is:
Code:
[$-F800]dddd, mmmm dd, yyyy
So what does the [$-F800] stand for?
Someone suggested that it was a locale ID, but F800 isn't in the list of Microsoft locales.
Thanks,
Shane.
