    Drag down days and dates in cells

    Hi guys,

    If I want to present a date as day-date-month

    How can I do this? and drag it down in cells?

    I.e. Thursday 8th February (British format)
    Friday 9th February

    Thanks!
    Thanks,

    R.

    Unfortunately Excel does not have a built-in way to format dates to show the ordinal day-of-month (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.). You will have to put your dates in one column then use a formula in another column to display the date in the format you want. (A VBA solution may also be possible.)
