date issue
 

is there a way to have excel display the month-day-year in seperate cells. I
need to use the day for reference. If day =x then this. I want excel to
continue to update date as normal. Then I can use the day number to get what
I want. This will continue monthly and yearly if I can.
Thanks

Let's say the date is in A1. Try this. It's fairly obvious, once you know
what to use.

=MONTH(A1)
=YEAR(A1)
=DAY(A1)

If A1 contains a date, then you can use:
=day(a1)
=month(a1)
=year(a1)

in separate cells or even in a formula.

Novice as I am this issue has me stumped. Hope I can clarify better. I use
=Today()
in K3 then I try want to use the date only to create an entry to another
cell. (K3) is formatted to show 2/19/09. Want the month and year excluded.
Have looked at =day(K3) no luck if((K3=day19),123). End result is to have a
data entry on date specfic of every month.
Thanks for support one of my limited experience needs all I can get
Thanks Again
