Convert Date to MMYY format
I would like to change the underlying date format from e.g. 01-May-09 to
May-09. I can change the format so that the displayed date is in correct format but the underlying date is still in DD/MM/YYYY format. The purpose is to do pivot charts to show how many defects per month over the last five years. -- Doug M |

TEXT

Convert Date to MMYY format
Rather than reformat the cell to Custom mmm-yy
use something like: =TEXT(A1,"mmm-yy") -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200909 "Doug Muegge" wrote: I would like to change the underlying date format from e.g. 01-May-09 to May-09.
