    Re: Capitalize letter when using formatting

    It's not proper. 1/7-16 as dddd dd/mm-yy returns "friday 1/7-16"

    So does Dddd dd/mm-yy

    I dont have any helper columns/cells to do a formula


    lol@ just checked proofing - it says "Capitalize first letter in english days", that doesnt help much when I'm not using english :D

    Re: Capitalize letter when using formatting

    you want

    Friday 1/7-16
    to be displayed

    did you check the options as posted in #4

    otherwise can you post a sample sheet

    Please upload a sample of your workbook to the forum, Make sure you have removed any private information, remember this is a public forum and so available to anyone
    Would like to see an example of your data and also a manual mock up of the expected results you want to achieve.

    To attach a file to your post,
    click "Go advanced" (next to quick post),
    scroll down until you see "manage Attachments",
    click that and select "add files" (top right corner).
    click "select files" find your file, click "open" click "upload" click 'done" bottom right. click "submit reply"

    Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
    You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.

    I did that. The problem is that Excel only autocorrects days if it's in english, which mine isn't.
