In your desired cell enter this formula: =K2 and change the Format to
Date:mm/yy
To change the format, click on the main menu FormatCells, select the
Number
tab, click Date and select your desired output from the list on the right.

Good Luck

Hi there. Using E02 on XP. Have a cell that needs to link
to a date cell (01/31/2005) and I need to see just month
and day (January 31). I found the =Month(K2) but can't
figure out how to get the month and day.

I appreciate any help or advice (and believe me, I really
looked in Excel Help first!). Thanks!
