Default custom format - month as uppercase

Thanks for that. I suspected as much but didn't want to leave any stone
unturned...

Cheers,

Glen

Formatting dates in uppercase is not supported in Excel.

As an aside, you can simplify your formula slightly by getting Text to do all
the work, ie:

=upper(text(a1,"dd mmm yyyy"))

Hi,

Is there a custom format that will display a date with the month in
uppercase eg 13-MAR-2007?

I can acheive the same effect using an adjacent calculation column to return
a text string in this format (eg =DAY(A1) &UPPER(TEXT(A1," mmm ")) &YEAR(A1))
but this seems overkill. I would rather just format the column with the
actual data.

Thanks in advance,

Glen
