Formating - Date as Month In All Caps

[Guest]

Can Format/Cells/Number/Custom be used to make a date show the month name in
all caps?

I am using an HLOOKUP to drive several report fields which are based on the
first day of a month.

Rather than show the date in the mm/dd/yyyy format, I have formated the cell
for mmmm which shows the date with the full month name formated as 'Proper'.
I would like to show the month name in all caps.

Current: A1 = 1/1/2006; Format displays as January - (Proper)
Would like: A1 = 1/1/2006, Format to display JANUARY - (All Caps)

Can not use a formula as users need to type the date in the cell in order to
create different scenarios.

Thanks in advance!

Why not use an extra cell; one to accept user input, one to show how your system interpreted that. Use UPPER() and TEXT() in that
last cell.

Space is an issue, but I think I will have to do just that. I thought I'd see
if other options were available. Sort of like using
Format/Cells/Number/Custom to change the way a negative number is Formated -
-i.e.[RED]

Thanks for the follow up though!
