EASY: Format NOW as mm/dd/yyyy
I have this simple function: ="Sales of: " & NOW() But this way the date is appears with that Excel code like 33046,30184. I wanted to show 04/28/2006. What is the function to set a format for the variable? Something like =formatdate(now();mm/dd/yyyy) Thanks! -- pauloreiss ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pauloreiss's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=29820 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=537287 |
