Mask Excel Date Entries. See Also: Mask Time Entries
Unlike Access, Excel does not allow for us to mask time and/or date entries. However, we can use the Worksheet_Change Event to achieve masked date entries. For the code to work dates should be entered as 6 digits, e.g. 010105, 121206 will change to 01/01/05 and 12/12/06 respectively. Note how the date mask is only applicable to the range A1:A100, but can be any range. You can change the display format (.NumberFormat = "dd/mm/yy") of the code to suit your needs. If using a US date format use.
To insert the code, right click on the Sheet name tab, select View Code and in here paste the code below;
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim StrVal As String
Dim dDate As Date
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Intersect(Target, Range("A1:A100")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
With Target
StrVal = Format(.Text, "000000")
If IsNumeric(StrVal) And Len(StrVal) = 6 Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Application.International(xlDateOrder) = 1 Then 'dd/mm/yy
dDate = DateValue(Left(StrVal, 2) & "/" & Mid(StrVal, 3, 2) & "/" & Right(StrVal, 2))
Else 'mm/dd/yy
dDate = DateValue(Mid(StrVal, 3, 2) & "/" & Left(StrVal, 2) & "/" & Right(StrVal, 2))
End If
.NumberFormat = "dd/mm/yyyy"
.Value = CDate(DateSerial(Year(dDate), Month(dDate), Day(dDate)))
End If
End With
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
