Dates

How do I enter the dates as 'day,date,month,year'?
For instance, enter 01/01/2011 tyhen highlight down to enter full month...but I also want the day.

RE: dates

Hi Elizabeth,


Thank you for your question.

To create a date format that includes the day, date, full month and year, you will need to create a customised date format. To do this:

- Select the date that you want to format, i.e. 01/01/2011

- Right click the cell, selecting 'Format Cells...' from the menu

- With the 'Number' tab open select 'Custom' from the category list

- Place your cursor in the text field below the heading 'Type:' and delete the contents

- Now type: dddd dd mmmm yyyy

* As you type this format the sample view above will display a preview of the date

* You can replace the spaces in the example above with a hyphen (-), forward slash (/) or any other character.


I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.


If you require further assistance, please reply to this post.


Regards,

Excel tip:

Editing Formulas in Excel Cells

Although people like to edit a formula in the Formula bar, you can also edit a formula in the cell.

To do this select the cell and press "F2". This puts Excel into Edit mode, and you can move around in the cell and make any necessary changes.

Double-clicking the cell also puts Excel in Edit mode.
