Format date to UPPERCASE

[Bruce LeBlanc]

Excel 97: Is there a way to format the date, currently set to "dddd, mmmm d,
yyyy", in uppercase letters?

Hi Bruce,

If by "Date" you're referring to the current date, this formula should
accomplish what you're looking for:

=UPPER(TEXT(NOW(),"dddd, mmmm d,yyyy"))

I hope this helps.

Niek and Paul,

Thanks guys! I have already changed the dates in three worksheets and will
change more as I encounter the lowercase date format. I hadn't thought of
incorporating the NOW() or TODAY() references, but I'm sure I'll use these
too.

BTW, is there a good website (or websites) that list all Excel 97 (and 2000)
functions, with descriptions and examples? The www.ronperson.com (Special
Edition, Using Microsoft Excel 97 / QUE) site is currently under
construction.
