Calculating Dates

Can I calculate on dates prior to 1900?

RE: Calculating Dates

Hi Caroline, Thank you for your post, In answer to your question, its a big No No, Excel only calculates dates from 1/1/1900, any date entered before that is not recognised and is entered as a text. I hope that helps, best regards Pete.

Excel tip:

Showing all menu items

If you go into a pull down menu you usally find that you get a selection of items(this is the default) or sometimes everything. If you only get a selectiopn you have to go to the double arrows at the bottom of the menu and click it to get all of the hidden items.
To turn this off so that you always get everything, go to Tools / Customize / Options Tab / "Always show full menus". Make sure there is a tick in the box and you will always have every item.
