Copy and paste VISIBLE data
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"? |
Copy and paste VISIBLE data
You can't from the user interface. You can uses a formula =TEXT(A1, "mmm"), and then replace copy/paste special, values to replace the result. Or you could do it with VBA. -- shg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ shg's Profile: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/member.php?userid=13 View this thread: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/sh...ad.php?t=24112 |
Copy and paste VISIBLE data
NM, I figured it out...In Column A I have ""1/31/2008 10:26:34 PM", In B I
put "=TEXT(A1,"MMM"). The "MMM" is formatting data to produce a three letter month code like "JAN". Pivot table likes this data much better.

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.
