Simple Question, display only part of a date in Number format
Hi
This might be a very simple question to most of you, but I am a novice user. If A1 has date in the format 04-Jan-06, then how do I have B1 display only the first two characters "04" in number format, which means 4? Cheers Sunny |

Thanks Andy,
This works, and displays 04, but I am unable to use this for mathematical functions, it needs to be a number format |
