Good morning guys, I have a grave issue. In excel I was creating a custom date format in the type "dd.mm.yyyy" to replace the format "dd/mm/yyyy". However upon doing so only two cells out of the list changed and the rest remains the same. I do not know what is happening, I checked to see if the cells were locked but they weren't. They are just not changing to the custom date format I set. Please help I need it urgently

Hi,
This is because these dates which have not changed are not real dates, they are in text format!
You have to convert them to real dates before you apply the custom date format!
To do this quickly, please try this trick:
Hope that helps
