RE: How do I convert dates from 12.12.07 to 12/12/07?

When you type dates in the format of 12.12.2007 in a cell Excel sees this is text. Dates should always be typed in as 12/12/07. To change this format quickly:

1. Select cells to be converted e.g. A6:A26
2. Edit menu, Replace
3. Find What: .
4. Replace with: /
5. Choose Search by Columns
6. Click Replace All

 

Excel tip:

Using an equal (=) sign that isn't part of a formula

Before you type the equal sign, type an apostrophe: '
Then type your equal sign: = (and anything else you want to add after your equal sign)
Press ENTER.

(the apostraphe will disappear
