How do you want it to appear?

  • Select the cells you want to format
  • Select Format, Cells
  • Select the Numbers tab
  • Select the word Date under Category
  • Select the format you like

For a format that is not listed, click in the Format Code text box and enter the format you would like: D for day, DD for leading zero in day, M for month, MM for leading zero in month, MMM for 3 letter abbreviation for month, MMMM for full month, YY for 2 digit year, YYYY for 4 digit year, NN for 3 letter abbreviation of day of week, NNNN for full day of week. You can also add any other character you want: /-.
