Default Copy and paste VISIBLE data

Suppose that date/time is in D1 of Sheet1 and you want it in another
cell on Sheet2. Put this formula in the cell:

=TEXT(Sheet1!D1,"mmm")

You could then fix the values on this using copy then paste special |
values.

Hope this helps.

I've formatted a column with a date serial number so that the cell shows just
the Month ( Cell value is "1/31/2008 *10:26:34 PM" but the cell just shows
"Jan"). How do I copy that and paste it into a new cell so that the cell
VALUE becomes "Jan"?
