Microsoft Excel, =TODAY() through a condition displays strange number instead of date -
i not sure if on looking something, because still newbie excel's functions, here comes problem :
lets have a1 cell, , want display todays date in cell whenever a1 cell isn't empty.
so came :
in cell : if(a1<>"";today();"")
todays date 16.8.2015, when run today() through condition this, output : 42232
why weird number ?
maybe did syntax wrong ? not sure.. tried make =today() in new cell, displayed 16.8.2015, , wanted show cell through condition, threw "42232" again.
be sure cell format date , not general or number.
the today
function returns serial number equivalent amount of days since 1/1/1900. why seeing number instead of date.
