Date Formatting
I wonder if anyone could help me please? Its probably really simple but I can't for the life of me get Excel to do as I would like. On all our company graphs/pivots etc, date is displayed as ...
- Jul 05, 2018In your file, the value in A2 ia not a true date, but in fact text. But as soon as you edit that cell, Excel will try to assess what you entered, recognize the entry as a date and enter a true date into the cell. To avoid all of this, before making ANY edits to your data, Format the column in question as Text. Then do your edits.

I don't think you can, at least I could not find a way to do so.
