Question

I have a cell containing a date ex. “05/11/09”
It is currently displayed as “11-MAY-09”. How do I copy-paste or use VBA to get the string “11-MAY-09” into the cell next to it ( NOT “05/11/09”)?

I can’t figure it out other than piecing out the date pieces by itself.

Answer 1

Use the Format function.

Format("5/11/2009", "DD-MMM-YY")

This will return:

11-May-09

If case matters:

UCase(Format("5/11/2009", "DD-MMM-YY"))

returns:

11-MAY-09
