Formatting dates

Is there a way that I could set up a work sheet templates that I could copy data which is in US date format and it will automatically change to UK date format when I paste it into the new worksheet.

RE: formatting dates

Hi Jenny

Thanks for this question, sorry i did not reply sooner

It is very easy to do what you are looking for all you do is format the work sheet with the date formats you need on whatever cell you want this to apply

When this is done on all the worksheets you want this to effect you then save this as an excel template with the name you wish to give it - after that is done you can open up the template from file and new - and copy all the date cells into the cells and they should be the format you set them to

Hope this helps you jenny

Excel tip:

Quickly copy a formula across sheets

Suppose you have a formula in cell Sheet1!B2, say =A1*5%, that you wish to copy to cell B2 on Sheet2, Sheet3 and Sheet4. Instead of using copy and paste, try this: (1) Select Sheet1!B2. (2) Group Sheet1 with the worksheets Sheet2, Sheet3 and Sheet4 by holding down Ctrl and clicking on the tabs of the sheets to group them. (3) Press the F2 key, then immediately press Enter to copy the formula in Sheet1!B2 across the grouped sheets.

Remember to ungroup the sheets afterwards! Right-click on any tab and choose Ungroup Sheets to do that.
