How Do I create an Ordinal (legal) date format in VBA

by  Chance1234  Posted    (Edited  )
Here is a custom function adapted from the MS article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/160988

Code: 
Public Function pfun_OrdinalDate(dte_toformat As Date) As String

      Select Case Day(dte_toformat)
         Case 1, 21, 31
            daysuffix$ = Day(dte_toformat) & "st "
         Case 2, 22
            daysuffix$ = Day(dte_toformat) & "nd "
         Case 3, 23
            daysuffix$ = Day(dte_toformat) & "rd "
         Case Else
            daysuffix$ = Day(dte_toformat) & "th "
      End Select
      
      pfun_OrdinalDate = daysuffix$ & Format$(dte_toformat, "mmmm") & Format$(dte_toformat, " yyyy")

        
End Function

to test

Code: 
?pfun_OrdinalDate(date())
