I may be over-complicating this, but that's what I do!!! How to solve this depends on the possible year span of the dates. If a date is 07/22 is that the date Jul 2022 or Jul 1922 Are the dates *always* in the year 2000 or greater? -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Excellency" <Excellency(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:BBD51CC5-AC5A-4513-851B-B329054527E3(a)microsoft.com... >I am trying to convert text to month and year.
