How do I delete merged cells in Excel without deleting the final d
I have a column of dates that was formatted YY/MM/DD that I wanted formatted MM/DD/YY. I split the cells then recombined the 3 new columns into a 4th using the concatenate function. How do I delete the 3 columns without deleting the combined data in the 4th? Thanks, Mary

First, if the data were really dates, you should be able to just format the cells the way you want. But if it's text that looks like data, you did ok! You can either hide the original columns and keep the concatenation formula --or convert the column of formulas to values (edit|copy, edit|paste special values will do it). Then delete the other columns. Just curious, did you use a formula like: =date(2000+a1,b1,c1) to get a real date or did you just create another string that looks like a date? aries68mc wrote: > > I have a column of dates that was formatted YY/MM/DD that I wanted formatted > MM/DD/YY.

hi copy the condatenation function and paste special values. this turns the function into hard data. the other three columns are now no longer needed.

For some reason when I tried the paste special values originally, it didn't work in formatting the dates how I wanted, but a regular copy and paste did. I just did what Dave suggested, though, and got it to work.

Thanks. The file I'm working on was pulled from our HRIS system and was converted as text. I don't know why IT gave it to me that way, but they did. And I didn't want to wait on them for another file. I was able to get it to work with doing the copy/paste special. For some reason that didn't work when I originally did the concatenate function. Thanks for your help!

how to get the number of days between two date formatted fields in vba for excel?
how to get the number of days between two date formatted fields in vba for excel? Hi Daniel, If they are Excel dates they represent the days and fractional days past Dec 31, 1899 if using the 1900 date system. So if you just have dates they have no fractional components and you just subtract the earlier date from the later date for the number of days. So it doesn't really matter if it is Excel or VBA same method. A1: 1998-11-28 B1: 2005-07-11 C1: =B1-A1 format c1 as number: #,##0 otherwise you will see: 1906-08-13 in VBA something like either of these, n...

OK to delete Deleted Items folder?
I'm afraid I'll have to delete my Deleted Items folder in Outlook 2000. When I try to empty the folder I get a "The messaging interfce has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists Restart Outlook" message. Is it possible to delete the entire folder and replace it with an empty new one? Will it create any problems? TIA Henrik Not possible. Run scanpst.exe against your pst-file to scan it for errors first. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] www.howto-outlook.com Tips of the month: -What do the Outlook Icons Mean? -Create an Office 2003 CD slipstreamed with Se...
How to delete chart
I created a histogram and want to delete it. I select it and the faint double border apperars. There are no square handles like in 2003. Then I press the Delete key. The faint double border goes away replaced by a single thin black border. The chart is still there and is not able to be selected at all. I entered "delete chart" in the Excel Help window, and there was nothing at all on deleting a chart. Ditto for "remove chart." I got no help searching on the internet either. I have Excel 2007 and Windows XP Professional When the border changes, can you press Delete a...
Delete blank Last page
In a word document where the last page is blank due to editing or whatnot, how do you get rid of the frigg' thing. This is a Visio newsgroup - your question was about Word. However, I have had this problem as you have. Narrowing the margins and line spacing on the page previous to the last may get rid of this annoying "blank" page for you. - Jeff Chapman "silkies" <silkies@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:BDCC1FF1-50D0-42CE-BA84-868CB26A43AC@microsoft.com... > In a word document where the last page is blank due to editing or > whatnot...
Deleting an email
I have an email (with a file attached) that is "hung up" in my outbox of Microsoft Outlook. Now I can't send or receive emails in Outlook. How can I delete the email that is "hung up"? Define hung up. Is it trying to send it? If so, disconnect your connection while it's trying to send and wait. It will time out after a bit and you should be able to delete it. Reconnect.

how to get the number of days between two date formatted fields in vba for excel?
how to get the number of days between two date formatted fields in vba for excel? Hi Daniel, If they are Excel dates they represent the days and fractional days past Dec 31, 1899 if using the 1900 date system. So if you just have dates they have no fractional components and you just subtract the earlier date from the later date for the number of days. So it doesn't really matter if it is Excel or VBA same method. A1: 1998-11-28 B1: 2005-07-11 C1: =B1-A1 format c1 as number: #,##0 otherwise you will see: 1906-08-13 in VBA something like either of these, n...
Recovering Unrecoverable Deleted Public Folders
Long, sad story with a punch line (which is worth getting to): Exchange 2003. Ran into a situation where a user deleted 10 public folders by mistake. Using Recover Deleted Items to retrieve them, got back five of the folders (the ones that were empty in the first place) but we received the following error message when attempting to recover the other five (the ones with actual stuff in them): "Outlook was unable to recover some or all of the items in this folder. Make sure you have the required permissions to recover items in this folder and try again. If the problem persists contact you...
