How to display month in a column based on a value in a cell
Put this in A1... =TEXT(D1,"mmm")
Select the cell, click Format/Cell on the menu bar... on the Number tab, select Custom in the Category listing and put this in the Type field... mm.dd.yy assuming the first 01 is the month and the second one is the day (terrible example by the way). If the month and day are the reverse of that, then put this in the Type field instead... dd.mm.yy -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "Panchi" wrote in message ...

Correction, it should have read:
In A1, copied down: =IF(D1="","",TEXT(D1,"mmm")) "mmm" returns it as: Jan, Feb, etc "ddd" returns it as: Mon, Tues, etc -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 Downloads:21,000 Files:370 Subscribers:66 xdemechanik --- |
