Default Change from mm/dd/yy to yy/mm

Copy and paste the entire column to where you want it. Then highlight the
new column and do Right-click FormatCells NumberTab then either choose
DATE and select one of the optional formats, or choose CUSTOM and choose one
of those offereings, or create your own format.

Hi,

I have a column with date field in mm/dd/yy format (about 1000 rows).
I would like to duplicate the date field in another column, but convert to
Year/Month (yy/mm). For example: The new column will delete/ignor the dd
format.
04/21/08 count as 08' APR or 08' 04
04/05/08 count as 08' APR or 08' 04
06/15/08 count as 08' JUN or 08' 06

Thanks for any help.
