Number Format - Capitalize

J

Josh O.

Is there a way to get a number format to show capital letters?

For example, I want to display 3/14/2006 as "MAR". I can get it to display
as Mar, but my boss wants it to appear as capital letters.

If Target.Column <> 2 Then Exit Sub
Target = UCase(Format(Target, "MMM"))

End Sub

You could use a font which only displays capital letters.....

or with a formula in another cell

=UPPER(TEXT(A1,"mmm"))

Do as I said and any date such as 3/15 entered into any cell in column B
will say MAR
