    It depends on the format of each of the dates. Is the first date an actual date or just a text value? Do you want the second to be an actual date or a text value?

    I expect you probably want to change a proper date to a text value, but here are all the options, just in case:

    Date to text value
    Use this:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Date to date
    Just change the format of the cell to the custom format yymmdd

    Text value to text value
    Use this:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Text value to date
    Use this and format the cell with the custom format yymmdd:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Hope that helps.

    I recently started a new job so am a bit busy and may not reply quickly. Sorry - it's not personal - I will reply eventually.
    If your problem is solved, please go to 'Thread Tools' above your first post and 'Mark this Thread as Solved'.
    If you use commas as your decimal separator (1,23 instead of 1.23) then please replace commas with semi-colons in your formulae.
    You don't need to give me rep if I helped, but a thank-you is nice.

    Unless you are a time traveller, the version of Excel in your profile is wrong. Please amend it. Thanks.
