Data Types
Hey,
If I have a date (stored in serial number format from the =TODAY() function) which is being displayed as a month written out in text e.g. "October" in the cell, how can I save the text string being displayed so that I can use it with the VLOOKUP fuction in a list of months that are all text strings? -Todd |
