Currently I get 2004-decembris-09 date format. It show month name on
latvian. How to set display this in english: 2004-December-09 ?

(without
changing system setting, if possible)

Tandem



Control Semicolon will put today's date in the cell.

I've seen pop-up calendars in the past but don't know where to get

them
anymore. Maybe someone else could help with that. Personally, by

the
time
I find them and make the selection, I could have just typed the

12/9/04 or
whatever, in myself.

Sorry, once the cell is formatted as I described, then just

enter the
date
in
a normal fashion, like 12/9/04 and it will automatically appear

as you
wished. When you just typed 2004 in the cell and moved away,

Excel
interpreted the 2004 as a date-number which it sees as the
"1905-June-26"
display you saw. The date 12/9/04 is actually just the number

38330 as
far
as Excel is concerned, just the formatting changes it's

appearance.
Once
the
cell is formatted, you could just type 38330 in it and the
"2004-December-09"
would show on the display.

You can do it on a per-cell basis by Right-click on the cell,

then
FormatCells NumberTab Custom and entering the following

in the
window

yyyy-mmmm-dd
