From: Fred Smith on 23 Mar 2010 11:19 Your most likely problem is your cell doesn't have a date in it, it has text. You need to convert the text to a date. To confirm this, simply enter 12/02/10 in your cell. See if that solves your problem. If it does, then you will need to convert your other cells to dates.
