change date abbreviations in excell 2003
Can you explain how the Apr 06 is arrived at? Is this a formula
returning a date which is formatted to show as Apr 06, or is it a text value? Pete On Nov 25, 6:29*pm, Cindy at PWIC wrote: I need to change date abbreviations in a formula to match customer's dates ie: *Apr 06 change to AL 06, can this be done? -- Cindy T |

change date abbreviations in excell 2003
I am putting in the date as a formula and adding 180 days to calculate a best
before date but my customer has changed their date codes from Apr to AR and I don't know how to change my dates as excell will not recognize AR as a date. I thought I could change it by saying replace any Apr to AR but I want it to do it automatically as I this changes every month and I use this form every day. Thanks. Not sure if this answers your question. -- Cindy T "Cindy at PWIC" wrote: I need to change date abbreviations in a formula to match customer's dates ie: Apr 06 change to AL 06, can this be done? -- Cindy T |

Can you tell us what your customer's month codes for each month are? Also,
showing us your formula would be useful too. -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "Cindy at PWIC" wrote in message ...

I should have asked you for your formula, but no matter. Just put your
formula (minus the leading equal sign) in where I have indicated in the formulas below. You will not be able to produce a "real" date using those codes; rather, you will only be able to produce a text string that looks like a date. Here is a general function call that will produce the month code for the specified date... =CHOOSE(MONTH(<<date),"JA","FE","MR","AL","MA"," JN","JL","AU","SE","OC","NO","DE") where you would put your formula that returns a date in for my <<date place holder. To create a date-looking string from this, just concatenate on (in whatever order you want) the day and year parts. For example, to produce a date in this format, ddmmyyyy, such as 25NO2008, use a construction like this... =TEXT(<<date,"dd")&CHOOSE(MONTH(<<date),"JA"," FE","MR","AL","MA","JN","JL","AU","SE","OC","NO"," DE")&YEAR(<<date) -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "Cindy at PWIC" wrote in message ...

Suppose you put that table in cells D1:E12. Then in A1 you could have
this formula: =TEXT(TODAY()+180,"yyyy ") & VLOOKUP(TEXT(TODAY()+180,"mmmm"),D$1:E $12,2,0) & TEXT(TODAY()+180," dd") which will give you: 2009 MA 24 If you want it to show 25th May 2009 you will need to use 181 instead of 180 in the formula. Hope this helps.
