Date Format
I have a column with the date formatted as 8/11/08 in one column. In the next
column over i would like to show just the month anth the year as Aug 08. The issue is each time i type this into a cell it returns 8-Aug which acutally equals 8/8/08. How can i show just a month and a year based on the date in another column? Example COL_A COL_ B 8/12/08 Aug 08 9/1/08 Sep 08 9/17/08 Sep 08 |
