Excel: formula to generate an order number based on date
I am trying to create an order form that will generate an order number based
on the date the order is written. I would like to have the number shown without the slashes (/). Example: If the order is written on 2/23/07, I would like the order number to be 022307. Is this possible? |

Excel: formula to generate an order number based on date
If your date is in A1, use this formula:
=TEXT(A1,"mmddyy") This assumes only one order per day. Hope this helps.

You don't even need th eformula. Use in the Format Menu - Number - Custom.
enter new custom format mmddyy. It is equivalent to what Pete recommended. the mmddyy in the formula says to use custom formating.
