Default Day of Week and Date in same cell

Is it possible to list the day of week and calendar date in the same cell?
If any one can help out it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Icebreaker914,

Try:

Selection.NumberFormat = "dddd mm/dd/yyyy"

Default Day of Week and Date in same cell

Just a couple of variations:

dddd* mm/dd/yyyy
(watch what happens when you widen the column.)

And
dddd(alt-0010)mm/dd/yyyy
And center it in the cell, and turn wrap text on.

You'll have to adjust the rowheight manually (and don't make the columnwidth too
skinny!)

(for (alt-0010), hit and hold the alt key while typing 0010 on the numeric
keypad. You should see a little square for that character--until you turn on
wrap text.)

I typed dddd(alt-0010)mm/dd/yyyy in Custom area and got a message that it is
an invalid format. Excel 2000.

'Problem' with that is that the cell still needs to be as wide as if there
were no text wrapping, which loses the point somewhat.

But if it were used as a header, it might not be a problem--if the data in that
column was wider.

Did you type (alt-0010) or did you hit and hold the alt-key while typing 0010
from the number keypad?
