Formula formatting
I am using the following formula to compare a range of cells for dates and to
return a high and low date in one cell. =TEXT(MIN($B9:$IV9),"mm/dd/yy")&" to "&TEXT(MAX($B9:$IV9),"mm/dd/yy") My question is this: what do I use in place of mm/dd/yy formatting if I want to compare a range of cells for a high & low number and want the information returned to be a number rather than date? Where can I see a list of valid formatting options (i.e. %, text, date, accounting, $$, etc..) Thanks!! |

thank you for your help!!! One other question:
Is there a way to have a workbook cell enter the current month based on the current month from the system date? I don't need complete date, just month. Thanks!

will spell out the month. =month(today()) will give 1 to 12 Thanks!!! For completeness sake, =TEXT(TODAY(),"mmm") will give you the 3-letter abbreviated month name. Rick |
