Default Impossible Date Formatting Requested?

Dontcha just love users? : )

I've got one that wants to display Excel dates in

03-Jul-04 09:14:22

format, but wants the date and time "stacked" in a single cell, as in

03-Jul-04
09:14:22

doing a date-to-text conversion and then using line wrap formatting on the
cell would "work" - EXCEPT that the date has to stay an Excel date, not a
text string.

Given Excel's "feature" of displaying dates as ######'s if the cell is not
wide enough, I can't get any leverage on a way to do what he wants. I had
thought that the ability to embed text into date (and number formats) might
be a way to do this, but I can't find a way to get an active CR-LF between
the halves of the datetime.

Anyone have any additional ideas on how to do this?

James
