Your Mac’s serial number is printed somewhere on the Mac itself, so you’ll be able to find it if you can’t turn your Mac on. Flip over a MacBook and you’ll see the serial number printed on the Mac itself, near the “Designed by Apple in California” text. On a Mac Mini, you’ll find the serial number on the bottom. Numbers automatically interprets text strings that you type in a recognized date format as dates (for example, 6/10/17). Select the cells or table you want to format. In the Format sidebar, click the Cell tab, then click the Data Format pop-up menu and choose Date & Time. Click the Date pop-up menu, then choose a format.
Quickly organize and summarize tables to gain new insights into your data.
