If I have 20/2/04 in a cell, and I want Excel to read it as Feb. 2, 2004. Is there a formula or setting for that?

TIA
 

If it is TEXT in a cell, say A1, then in another cell, say B1, put ..

[blue][tt] =DATEVALUE(A1)[/tt][/blue]

.. and format it however you want - [blue]mmm. d, yyyy[/blue] for the example you give.

Enjoy,
Tony
