Can I create my own date showing day of week plus date?
I would like to enter the date, such as 10/04/09, and have it show up in the
cell as: Sun 10/04/09 Is this possible? Right now all I see for formatting the date showing the day of the week shows: Sunday, October 4, 2009 (it's spelling out too much for me...I want everything abbreviated). I would like only the first 3 characters for the day of the week and then the date using numbers as xx/xx/xx. -- Thank you. |

Use the custom format of ddd m/dd/yy.
Enter the date as usual: 10/4/2009 and it will display as Sun 10/04/09. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "tjsmags" wrote in message ...
