Nothing to worry about – this will be sorted we align the text in the center (covered next) This happens when the cell width is not enough to accommodate the entire text. When you do the above, you may see the # signs instead of the month name. So while the value in cell B3 is 1, it is displayed as a January. And the good thing about this is that the value in the cell still remains 1, and I can use these values in the formulas.

The above steps format cell B3 to show the full month name. Select the Numbers tab in the Format Cells dialog box (if not selected already).

This will open the Format Cells dialog box

Hold the Control key and press the 1 key (or Command + 1 if using Mac).

While this is good enough, I only want to show the day number.īelow are the steps to change the format of the cells to only show the day number from the date value: The result of the formula is the date serial number, so you may either see a serial number (such as 44562) or a date. In case you’re not using Excel for Microsoft 365 or Excel 2021, you can use the below formula instead: =IF(MONTH(DATE($B$1,$N$4,1)+(ROW()-5) 7+COLUMN()-3-$N$5)=$N$4,DATE($B$1,$N$4,1)+(ROW()-5)7+COLUMN()-3-$N$5,'')Įnter this formula in cell D5, and then copy and paste it for all the other cells in the calendar grid. This is because it uses the SEQUENCE function, which is a new formula and is not available in the older version of Excel. Note: This formula would only work in Excel for Microsoft 365, Excel 2021, and Excel for the web.
