nevermind. I got it playing around deleting different parts and this worked:

=TEXT(D37,"") & DAY(D37)
&IF(AND(MOD(DAY(D37),100)=10,MOD(DAY(D37),100)<=1 4),"th",

CHOOSE(MOD(DAY(D37),10)+1,"th","st","nd","rd","th" ,"th","th","th","th","th"))

I'm trying to modify the code you helped locate to show only the ordinal
number from the date, not the month, year, day of week, etc. Any ideas how
to incorporate this in?

Maybe you could use a helper cell with a formula.

Chip Pearson has one at:
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/ordinal.htm

If A1 contains the date:
=TEXT(A1,"DDDD ") & DAY(A1)
&IF(AND(MOD(DAY(A1),100)=10,MOD(DAY(A1),100)<=14) ,"th",
CHOOSE(MOD(DAY(A1),10)+1,"th","st","nd","rd","th", "th","th","th","th","th"))
& TEXT(A1," MMMM YYYY")

All one cell.

I would like Excel and Access to display dates in the following format:
Wednesday 3rd August 2005

Currently, I can only get a display of :
Wednesday 3 August 2005 using dddd d mmmm yyyy

Grateful for help getting 3rd instead of 3 displayed.

Many thanks

Stuart
