Dates in Mac version of excel

can you tell me how to format the dates in the Mac version of Excel so that they carry over properly when a pc generated file is opened on a Mac

RE: dates in Mac version of excel

Hi Sue, thanks for your query. You've identified a known issue with the Mac version of Excel. I have a solution which, sadly, I can't claim to be my own! The following link should explain all:

Hope this helps,

Excel tip:

Make macros work in newer versions of Excel

If you have created macros in Excel 97 or 2000 that you want to be able to use in 2002/XP or 2003, you may need to alter the macro security settings in the newer version of Excel you are using.

To do this, go to Tools - Options - Security.

Select Macro Security and change the security setting to Low.

Tick the boxes next to 'Trust Add-ins' and 'Trust Visual Basic' and click OK.

After you have restarted Windows, you should then be able to use your macros created in earlier versions of Excel.
