Date Formatting
With the help of Biff yesterday I entered the formula
="Closing Balance at "&TEXT(E4,"dd-mmm-yyyy") which returned Closing Balance at 31-Mar-2010 exactly as I wanted - almost. My superiors require that to conform with the rest of the document the month element of the date be in upper case, i.e. Closing Balance at 31-MAR-2010 I have tried, in vain and in desperation, the following - ="Closing Balance at "&TEXT(E4,"DD-MMM-YYYY") and ="Closing Balance at "&TEXT(UPPER(E4),"dd-mmm-yyyy") but these do not have the required effect. Does anyone have a solution? Many Thanks, Dave Moore |
