You are correct though, but that is not what I asked for.
When I tried both functions, it shows 11/26/07. I need a date function for "November 26, 2007".

Hi,
=TEXT(DATE(2007,11,25),"mmmm dd, yyyy") The above format works perfect on 2003Excel (from 2003 Office Suite) but did not work on 97Excel file (from 97Office Suite). Although I am using 2003Excel, I still use some excel templates from 97 Excel. I would very much appreciate it if you could post the date function for 97 Excel. Thank you.

It's no difference, the date functions haven't changed. What happened when
you tried it on excel 97? Regardless you don't need the text function or the date function to get a date to display as November 26, 2007 just type in the date as 11/26/07 and the do formatcellsnumbercustom and use mmmm dd, yyyy -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Jorge Cervantes" wrote in message ...

I am not that computer-literate.
When I type in "=TEXT(TODAY(),"mmmm dd, yyyy")" in a cell of 97Excel xls, it did convert into date. It shows the same "=TEXT(TODAY(),"mmmm dd, yyyy")" function in the cell. All templates from 97Excel did not work. But when I type it in 2003 Excel sheet, it automatically convert into November 28, 2007. just type in the date as 11/26/07 and the do formatcellsnumbercustom and use I could not quite follow your instruction.

function for date?
While he might be replying back to Rick he quotes JMB so he might have
thought that JMB was Rich? Nevertheless there is no need for any functions and also if he wants to use the TEXT function =TEXT("11/26,07","mmmm dd, yyyy") will suffice. -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Sandy Mann" wrote in message ...

OK. Now I realized that there was a confusion somewhere. Since my wife computer is installed with 97office suite, I checked how those functions work on 97Excel. With native 97Excel or 2003Excel files, "=TEXT(DATE(2007,11,25),"mmmm dd, yyyy")" function worked just fine. No problem. But the above function did not work on any of 97Excel files which are opened under 2003Excel. (Note: my computer is installed with 2003 Office Suite. But I use 97Excel templates under 2003 Excel.). I hope that this clarifies what was the problem. Jorge "Peo Sjoblom" wrote in message ... While he might be replying back to Rick he quotes JMB so he might have thought that JMB was Rich?

What do you mean by "the above function did not work"?
What error message did you get? If not an error message, what value did the formula =TEXT(DATE(2007,11,25),"mmmm dd, yyyy") return? If the cell merely displayed the formula, rather than the result, make sure that you haven't got the cell formatted as text; if it is, then format as General, and either re-insert the formula, or hit F2 to get into formula edit mode and hit Enter. -- David Biddulph "Jorge Cervantes" wrote in message ...
