Default date format for D / DD to be (e.g.) m mo

ahhh.. sorry answers would 99% time been what need because I'm just average
user, and I did not give enough info, this one thing been running into
often.

know all the rest, look good answers; but where I see DD or D might
already be covered by: dd or d for number day eg: 5 or 05 for 5th of
month, I think that if the D or DD are just redundant then could use as
suggested: (Custom Format) D = m for monday, or DD = mo

like may have said, have large need for this formatting as an automatic
Custom Format. - thanks much. -

things fit in narrow columns / have less items to read for the same info...

would think that MS could have made option available for day of week to show
for 1 or 2 places, and maybe to be discerned between caps / lower case..

D for m (form monday)
DD for mo

is this available in some other form??? thanks
