Default \# Not Working

Donīt know what else to do.

Nor do I :-(

Just some thoughts/questions...

Are your dates entered directly into Excel?
How do they look in Excel?
Are /all/ the cells with dates in this column formatted as dates? Which
format is used?

Now I have problems with the date. Donīt know what else to do.
I have changed the date format and nothing.
Thanks for all the help.

Thanks!
I have changed the regional configuration to my pc and It seems to be
working.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Your dates are probably in "Julian date" format which is why Word won't
format them. I do not know why Word sometimes gets them in this format,
but
maybe that bit of information will help you identify whether there is
anything unusual about your date column in Excel, or whether creating
another column which refers to the date will help.

I agree with Graham about the numbers.
