How do I convert dates to text keeping the format?
I'm trying to convert a column of data in date format *m/d/yyyy to a text format without converting to serial numbers. Ie: I want to retain the mm/dd/yyyy format. Is there a way to do this?

nh1That places a formula in the field. I actually need a value with the mm/dd/yyyy format to load to a different system. Any suggestions?

Convert text to time value
I have a series of time values in a 'General' format. They are of the type: 184525 Which is 18:45:25 or 6:45:25 pm. A time which is am would be of the type: 12345 Which is 1:23:45 am. Is there a way to convert those 'General' values to an Excel serial so that I can figure out the difference between two times?
