custom format - month as uppercase
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 |

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")) -- Regards, Fred "Glen" wrote in message ...

Thanks for that. I suspected as much but didn't want to leave any stone
unturned... Cheers, Glen "Fred Smith" wrote: Formatting dates in uppercase is not supported in Excel.
