Date / month trouble
 

I am trying to find a way of having a cell automatcally add the month & year
(mmmyy) from the date (ddmmmyy) which is already given in a different column
of the same worksheet.
e.g. shall we say cell I44 contains the date received 23/05/09 & I want
cell K44 to look at cell I44 & populate cell K44 with that particular month &
year from cell I44
I44 K44
Date received Month
23/05/09 May-09

Is there any easy way to do this without having to add an extra column to
the worksheet?

Why dont you just put a formula and custom format to display as mmm-yy

In K44 enter the formula
=I44

Then select K44, right clickformat CellsCustom.Type the below.
mmm-yy
