Change month only in a column containing several rows of dates
Apologize if this has been solved previously. I am attempting to change the month only in a column of already entered dates in a column. For example I have 1/2/2018, 1/5/2018, 1/17/2018, 1/20/18 etc...
If you select all your dates before Ctrl+H when Replace All shall work, otherwise find (and replace) one by one
Hi John,
If we speak only about Jan to Feb, not every month in dates on next one, I'd first apply to your dates custom format
mm/d/yyyy
when Ctrl+H and replace 01/ on 02/
I use Excel to keep track of my monthly spending and had the same question about easily changing the month.
To explain for other beginners:
My workbook has a sheet for each month, just so I don't have to do a lot of scrolling. Each month I copy and paste to create a new sheet. Then I have to manually change the due date for each item on my sheet (rent, cable, groceries, etc.)
This is such an easy solution, why didn't I think to do this! It worked wonderfully.
thx Sergei
