Change format of NOW()
When I use the NOW() function in VBA I get the current format:
3/20/2007 1:20:46 PM How do I change this to get the following: 3/20/2007 1320 I need to get rid of the colon and lose the seconds. Actually it would be interesting to know how to extract the formatting imbedded int that as well. Is their a format property? Thanks EM |

Change format of NOW()
I believe Now() returns the date and time using the format specified in your
computers regional settings. You can use the Format method to display Now()'s return value in a different format. Format(Now(), "mm/dd/yyyy hhmm") -- Hope that helps.

Change format of NOW()
Format(Now(), "m/d/yyyy hmm")
Suppose putting =Now() in an unformatted cell shows the imbedded format. For me it is m/d/yyyy h:mm. Hth, Merjet |
