Sent: 19 August 2004 21:48 To: Formula help (E-mail) Subject: [mso] Format date to YYYY Q in excel Does any one know if there is a way that a date can be formatted ( Year Quarter) so it would be like (YYYY #Q) example: 2004 3Q? This date is being retrieve from a different cell that just says the current year. So in one of the cells it I have a formula that says: ='3yrplan'!$B$2&" 1Q" I would like it to go to the 3 year plan sheet grab the current year which is in cell B2 and add 1Q at the end. It is currently coming up as: 38218 1Q. Any ideas? ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
