Formatting a cell

[Emma Chapman 123]

Please can somebody help.
I have a formula in a cell say ing that if the date is less than the date
today put it in this cell if not then enter 0. The cell is formatted as a
date but the zero keeps on coming up as January but i need it to come up as
0. Is this possible to do.

i am assuming u have this formulla

=IF(A1<Today(), "0", Today())

if not use it, and dont forget the " " before and after 0

then format the cell as custom:
go to format window, choose custom, type dd/mm/yyyy
or whatever date format you like. but dont choose format as date.
