Valid date format in cell

Hi Everyone

How can I have the user enter a date in a certian format in a cell.

If they enter a date like 01/01/02 - excel will automately transform it to 01 - Jan - 02.

Thanks

Tee, just change the cell's formatting (if I understand your question). Select Format|Cells and use the Date category to select what you want.

Hope this helps you out.

Many thanks - I did not think of that. Too easy.
