[mso] Re: Excel 2000- Capitlize day abbreviations?

I believe you when you say it works for you.  But, it isn't for me. Could it
be related to my preferred date format I set in the Regional and Language
Options, I wonder?

I still get this format:
2004-02-28 Tue, and not 2004-02-28 TUE. I am trying to get the latter.

Thank you.

Robert

In Excel the Format Cells - Number - Custom format yyyy-mm-dd DDD works
perfectly for me.

Robert,

In Custom format, the string yyyy-mm-dd ddd works for me. I am using Outlook
2003.

You can also use the following: =UPPER(TEXT([date],"yyyy-mm-dd ddd")) which
is best used where [date] is the reference to the cell where the date is.

Andrew
