asked on Excel Date Format Issue: Treating Date as a Number
Hello,
I am having an issue when filtering a column to search for all 2011 and 2012 dates. Here is my current code:
This generally works fine, but when I add new rows of data to the end of my spreadsheet, the dates will not format correctly. I have tried copying the format of the correct rows to the rows with the issue, but it still will not work. I also noticed that the correct dates' format appears to be different from the issue dates' format. (See attached images).
![Format of the rows with issues]()
![Format of the correct rows]()
Also, when I open the "More Number Formats", both of them are on the same format as seen in the following image:![More Number Formats Properties Box]()
I am not sure how to fix this issue.. even though it seems pretty simple. I am not able to share my spreadsheet either.. Does someone know how to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Rob

By typing in the date. ie: I type in "2/15/12" and it will format it to "2/15/2012". However, when I filter the data, that row does not appear in the filter.

Hmmm, it appears that when I switch the data to a text, then type "2/15/12", then convert it to a date, it works correctly. I'm not quite sure why though..

However, I am not the only person adding data to this spreadsheet, so this will not work for me. I need the spreadsheet to accept dates in the correct format as new dates are added to that column.
