Yes, so I just realised. As I said in my 2nd post, I have no idea what I
was thinking about. Once again my apologies.

No Sandy,

If there is no date entered in F2, then just use F1 as Fri, 30 Mar 07.
If there is a date in F2, then use the concatenation of a shortened form
of F1 with " to " and the longer form of F2 date.
as in Fri, 30 Mar to Tue, 03 Apr 07.

... Hi

If 2 cells are going to be used to hold the dates, then
=IF(F2="",TEXT(F1,"ddd, dd mmm yy"),TEXT(F1,"ddd, dd")
&" to "&TEXT(F2,"ddd, dd mmm yy"))

Very good Roger. I assume that the =IF(F2="", is a typo for =IF(F2<"",
?

For your 2nd post and with the start date in F1 and the end date in F2,
try somthing like:

=CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(F1),"Sun","Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu", "Fri","Sat")&",
"&DAY(F1)&" -
"&CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(F1),"Sun","Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu" ,"Fri","Sat") &",
"&DAY(F2)&" "&
TEXT(CHOOSE(MONTH(F2),"Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May ","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"),"???" )&"
"&YEAR(F2)

Under format cells, number, custom format, enter:
ddd, d mmmm yyyy
to display April 1st:
Sun, 1 April 2007

ddd, dd mmmm yyyy
for this:
Sun, 01 April 2007

I don't know of any way to display ordinal numbers within a date:
Sun, 1st April 2007
as you have in your sample.

Is it possible to have a function where if you enter the date
numerically, eg
'30/3/7'
it returns the DAY & date, eg 'Fri, 30th March 2007' ?

This would obviously work off the computer calander so as to ensure
it gets
the day of the week correct.

Thanks
