[mso] Re: Date format in Excel

Click into the cell that has the correct format, then while that cell is
selected, go to Format>Cells and click on the Number tab ... select "Custom"
from the list and the format will be displayed in the box at the top on the
right ... just copy that format and put it in any cell you want.

Thanks for your reply Mr David

See when we enter the date in excel as 01st Oct 2007 and use the fill
handle and drag it down, excel automatically recognises the series and
fills the same as 02nd oct 2007, 03rd oct 2007 etc.  Hence I put forth a
question that since excel is able to internally recognise the formats,
is there by any chance we change the format as above.

When I enter the date as 01-oct-2007 and set an format to that, it
should change to 01st oct 2007.

Hope I am clear now.
