I don't believe you can do that with formatting. *I think the only way to get
that display is with a formula, such as:

=UPPER(TEXT(NOW(),"hh:mm ddd dd.mm.yy"))

Of course, now you are dealing with a text string which will make it difficult
to use in calculations downstream.

If that is important, you might separate your data/entry-computation cell from
the display cell.

Thanks, it works - I didn't think it would because I've got =NOW() in
the cell - but it does!
