I have an Excel sheet with the ‘Microsoft date time picker control’.
The content in the control, by default, when the sheet initializes is the current date.
I wish to display some text in the control when the control is first initialized…something like “Please select a date”.
Can this be done? If yes, how? Do we use a macro? Can we modify a property through code?

No, it’s not possible (and not advisable). The
Valueproperty is of type date-time.
