"Hi Taiki,
If you have a cell (A1) containing the date value for 17 Aug 2003 (=37850) then you can get to the value for 1 Aug 2003 by using the following formula:
=VALUE(TEXT(A1,""MMM YY""))
There are other ways, but this one is very general, and does not require the use of any 'unusual' functions etc.
Alan."
Is there a way to have excel change a given date (ie. 8/17/2003) to the start of that month?(8/1/2003) Thank you.
"Hi John,
I have seen this done many times, but it is extremely annoying to anyone else using that computer if they don't want that file, or even if the normal user doesn't.
My suggestion to colleagues who want this, is that they set up a shortcut immediately beside their normal Excel shortcut (within the Start Menu or on their Desktop normally), that actually refers to the file that you want to open up with normally.
That way, when they click on that shortcut, the workbook opens automatically with Excel without inconveniencing themselves or others who don't want it.
Hope that works for you.
Alan."
How do I get a workbook to start automatically when I start Excel?
you shoul pess the Ctrl key and the ; key net the + key !
But then I have to press the shift key and = to get a + and maybe this only works with a numeric key pad. But then the date will probably be in mm/dd/yy format for the first 12 days of the month and then in dd/mm/yy for the rest of the month, so not much use.
only way i could do it (office 2000) was to put extra letters to the left of the 'number' bit and colour them white!
After dividing the cell use in cell editing to add spaces to move the second word to the right. Might not be the best way, but it works.
I have the same question Raoul posted - how to get the text on the bottom line to go to the right? Thanks for the tips!
"I can't get the lower word to go to the lower right of the cell - are there any instructions missing?
Thanks for the tips though."
