This Excel tutorial explains how to use the Excel FORMAT function (as it applies to date values) and syntax with examples. The Microsoft Excel formatting function takes a date expression and returns it as a formatted string. The FORMAT function is a built-in function in Excel that is categorized as a Date/Time function. It can be used as a VBA function (VBA) in Excel. As a VBA function, you can use the following function of macro code which enters the Microsoft Visual Basic Editor. The syntax for the formatting function in Microsoft Excel is: Format (expression, [formatting, [firstdayofweek,[firstweecfined]] Parameters or Arguments Expressions Value the date in format.optional format. It is the format to apply to the expression. You can either define your own format or use one of the named formats that Excel has predefined such as: Format Explanatory Date Explanation General Date based on your system date settings Show date based on long date setting medium date based on average date range Your system's Short Date Show date based on your short date time is set Long Time Show time based on your system's long time settings to Show time based on your average time set short time Show time based on your system's short time to initial Optional settings. It is a value that specifies the first day of the week. If this parameter is suspended, it's supposed Sunday is the first day of the week. This parameter can be one of the following values: Constant Value Explanation vbUseSystem 0 Use NLS API settings VbSunday 1 Sunday (default, if omitted parameters) vbMonday 2 Monday vbTuday 3 Tuesday vbWedn Wednesday 4 Wednesday vb Thursday 5 Thursday vbFriday 6 Friday vbSat Friday 7 Saturday First Optional Week. It is a value that specifies the first week of the year. If this parameter is omitted, it is supposed that the week to January 1 is the first week of the year. This parameter can be one of the following values: Constant Value Explanation vbUseSystem 0 Use NLS API setting vbFirstJan1 1 Week in containing January vbFirstFourDays 2 first week from at least 4 days of year vbFirstFullWeek 3 first week of the year format function returns a string value. Apply For Excel for Office 365, Excel 2019, Excel 2016, Excel 2013, Excel 2011 to Mac, Excel 2010, Excel 2007, Excel 2003, Excel XP, Excel 2000 Type the Format function can only be used in VBA code in Microsoft Excel. Let's look at some example Excel formatting functions and explore how to use the FORMAT function in Excel VBA code: Format (#17/04/2004#, Short Date) '17/04/2004' Format (#17/04/2004#, Long Date) Result: 'April 17, 2004' Format (#17/04/2004#, yyyy/mm/dd) Result: '2004/04/17' For example: Dim LValue As String LValue = Format(Date, yyyy/mm/dd) In this example, the variable named LValue would now have date formatted as yyyy/mm/dd. I want to fill a in a worksheet with the date as string and I want it to be in the format dd/mm/yyyy. I use this code but it keeps showing as mm/dd/yyyy. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong since I already watched the answer. Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Dim date1 As String date1 = Format(Date, dd/mm/yyyy) Worksheets(sheet1). Cells.Range(B1) = Date1 End Sub TheShyButterfly Apr 13th 2018 Thread is Unresolved Hi Contains, thank you for checking out my problem. Object in the form: When date is entered (dd/mm/yyyyy) in the date textboxes, displays dd/mm/yyyy in the textbox, it keeps the formatting when it is submitted to the next blank spreadsheet. I will also create a 'find file' (in a multiplying form), where when a user enters the search criteria, it populates the date texts in the correct format /mm/yyyy. The problem is that when a date is entered into the texts Txt_StartDate and Txt_EndDate as dd/mm/yyyy, that when submitted to the worksheet, they return to mm/dd/yyyy or the date as a text format. 'Normal' date 1st day of the 12th day of the month goes to the mm/dd/yyyy format of the sheet, but dates from the 13th day of the 31st (or last day of the month), are stored in the sheet of text format. Current code based in the Calculate button: Explicit Options Private Sub Cmb_Calculate_Click() Dim date1 As Date, date2 As Date Dim End Row As Long Dim ws As Worksheet1 = Format(Txt_StartDate.Text, dd/mm/yyyyy) date = Format(Txt_EndDate.Text, dd/mm/yyyyy) If date > date2 Then Txt_StartDate.SetFocus MsgBox The start date cannot be greater than end date If Txt_DateDiff.Text = DateDiff(d, date1, date2) end = Sheet1.Cells(Rows.Count, 1). End(xlUp). Offset (1,0). Row Cells(endRow, 1) = date1 cell(endRow, 1) = Format(Cell(endRow, 1), dd/mm/yyyyy) Cells(endRow, 4) = date2 Cells(endRow, 4) = Format(Cell(endRow, 4), dd/mm/yyyyy) Cells(endRow, 3) = Txt_DateDiff.Value End Show More I tried these settings on the worksheet cell/column formatting; There is no format at all (which should defaultly store the date as a date as per system settings (dd/mm/yyyy) - store as Text or American (US) date formatTematting cells/columns in dd/mm/yyyyy always change the date in the US date format encoding encoding: tried to format the code to textbox datusing the segment format, format (Txt_StartDate.Text, dd/mm/yyyyy) Format $(date1,dd/mm/yyyyy) None of the attempts to work. Now the code is in the 'calculate' button, but I tried it in the Sub worksheets with Sub Module and neither of these worked either. Now I'm more frustrated & confused. My system time zone is (UTC + 10:00) Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney, in dd/mm/yyyy date format. Excel 2016I have been struggling over 18 months trying to find a workaround for successfully converting/formatting dates entered into my Userforms in the UK (dd/mm/yyyyy) date format in the worksheet. I tried and tested throughout the entire quake tutorial YouTube Various forums that are encouraged to have the solution, but none have fixed the problem on my system (or my work computer). I could ask a little favor, that when you test the proposed solution, that you change your system time zone to one that uses the date format dd/mm/yyyy date and test date below and last the 12th day of a month, just confirm that it does what it is intended to do. If you could advise me if there is a way that I can format the date code as a global default, that could be fantastic. Just let me know where the code has to be written (pag, userform, module, worksheet, workbook). I have attached the sample file for your reference. Thank you in advance, Kind regardless ofTheShyButterfly Unfortunately, this seems to be a common problem with a number of VBA date-related functions for people in our down-to-bottom (I'm surprised how many times your VBA loses ignoring the local date format). Have you tried a) by using a date format of dd/mm/yyyyy in the target cell for the date and b) something like Cell(fenRow, 1) = DateValue(Format(TextBox1.Value, dd/mm/yyyyy)) and whatever your text name. Thank you Gijsmo I have tested your recommendations and it seems to work fit to thank you again: thumbcoo: Cheers, TheShyButterfly: Lift: Excel provides you several options for date formatting. In addition to the several built-in date formats that exist, you can create custom date formats. Even if the process of manually applying a date format is not very complicated, there are some circumstances where you may want to create macros that date formatting. This may be the case if, for example: You use a particular date format always and you want to be able to apply such a format without having to do everything manually; or You often format cells or cell ranges in a particular way, and the formatting rules you apply include date formatting. Regardless of your situation, if you are interested in understanding how you can use Visual Basic for applications for purposes of date formatting, you've found the right place. When working in Visual Basic for Applications, there are some different properties and functions you can use for purposes of formatting a date. The Range.NumberFormatLocal property. The Range.NumberFormat property. This particular Excel tutorial focuses on the last item in the list above (The Range.NumberFormat property). I can cover the Format function and Range.NumberFormatLocal properties in future blog posts. If you want to inform each time I publish new content to Power Spreadsheets, please make sure to sign up for our newsletter by entering your email address below. In addition to explaining the Range.NumberFormat property, I explain the different date format codes you can use and introduce 25 date formatting examples by using VBA. You can use this detailed table in the following to navigate to the section of this tutorial that interests you the most. Before I introduce the NumberFormat property to more Let's start by taking a look at the sample file which accompany this Excel tutorial: Format Date by using VBA: Example for the purpose of this Excel tutorial, I use an Excel workbook that has the full match schedule in the Brazil World Cup 2014. This VBA Date Format Tutorial is accompanied by an Excel workbook that contains the data and some versions of the macros I explain below. You can access free immediate use in this example book by subscribing to the Power Spreadsheets newsletter. Note that how the first column of the table contains dates: These are the dates that I formatted throughout this tutorial. However, since the focus of this macro is to format date by using VBA, we need a Sub.This image procedure shows the basic structure of the macro (named Format_Dates) that I use to format these dates. The macro contains a single statement: Selection.NumberFormat = i/d/yy;@ Therefore, before I start showing example on how you can format date by using VBA, let's analyze the following statement. For these reasons, you simply need to understand... The Range.NumberFormat property and How to format an Excel date by using VBA as mentioned at the beginning of this Excel tutorial, you can generally use the Range.NumberFormat property to format Date.The Range.NumberFormat property sets a Value variant. This value represents the number format code of the relevant Range object. For these reasons, the Range object is generally a single cell or a range of cells. Strictly speaking, in addition to setting the NumberFormat property value, you can also return the property's current setting. As explained by Excel authority John Walkenbach in Excel VBA Program for Numies, the NumberFormat property is a read-write property. However, if you are reading this Excel tutorial, you are likely willing to modify the property, don't read it. Therefore, this guide focuses on how to change the NumberFormat property, not how to read it. You can, however, easily examine the number format in a cell or range of cells. I explain how you can read a property value in this tutorial. In these cases, if (i) you select a range of cells and (ii) all the cells don't share the same format, the Range.NumberFormat property returns Null. NumberFormat is just one of the many (nearly 100 per count i) properties of the Range object. As explained in Excel Macros for Dummies, once you have selected a range of cells (as the sample Format_Dates macro does), you can use any of the Range properties to manipulate the cells. This Excel tutorial is quite specific. The only property of the Range object that I cover in this blog post is NumberFormat. In fact, I only explain (in high detail) one of the applications in the NumberFormat property: in the Date format with VBA. I can cover other properties of the Range object, or other applications in the NumberFormat property, in future tutorial. If you want to receive an email every time I publish new material in Power please make sure you are in our newsletter by entering your email address below: the syntax of the Range.NumberFormat property of the syntax of the Range.NumberFormat property is relatively simple: expression. NumberFormat In this case, expressions stand for the Range object, or a variable that represents this object. The sample Format_Dates macro shown above uses the Application.Selection property, which returns whatever object is selected. Generally, you can use the sample Format_Dates macro foundation every time the selection is a range of cells. Therefore, the sample macro uses this version of the syntax above: Selection.NumberFormat You can use another expression instead of selection. What's important, as I mentioned above, is that the expression stands for a Range object. Whenever you want to modify the value of a property, you must do the following: #1: Determine whether the property you are working with uses arguments and, if that's the case, determine what the argument you want to use. These arguments are the same ones that specify the value that the property takes. #2: Use an equal sign to separate the property name from the property value. As shown in the examples throughout this tutorial, if you are applying the NumberFormat property using the foundation structure of the sample Format_Dates macro, argument values are generally surrounded by double quotes (). Therefore, if you are setting the NumberFormat Property value, you can use the following syntax: expression. NumberFormat = argument_value In other words, in order to change the current setting to the NumberFormat property, you use a statement that includes the following 3 items: Item #1: A reference to the NumberFormat property. Item #2: Equal Sign (=). Item #3: The new value of the NumberFormat property, which is enclosed by double quotes ( ). As I explain above, the Range.NumberFormat property determines the number format string in a Range object. Therefore, in order to be able to format a date using VBA, you must understand... Date Format Codes: The arguments in the Range.NumberFormat Properties as explained in the Microsoft Dev Center: the format string is the same string as the Format Code option in the Format Cells dialog box. This is quite a mouth, so let's break the statement and process in different parts to understand how you can know which format code you want to apply. More specifiesly, you can find the string representing a particular format string in the Format Cells dialog box in the following 5 steps easily. This process is, mostly, useful if you don't know the format code you want to apply. Usually, as you become more familiar with number format codes, you will be able to create macros which date format without having to go through this every time. For these reasons, see the introduction to the date format code below. Step #1: Go to the Number tab of the Format Cells dialog box you can find in the Format Cells dialog box by using any of following methods: Method #1: Click the dialog box at the bottom-right corner of the Order Number group in the Home Ribbon tab. This #2: Go to the Home tab in the Ribbon, expand the Number Format drop-down list and choose More Number Formatting. Method #3: Use Ctrl + 1 keyboard shortcut. Regardless of the above methods you use, Excel displays the Format Cells dialog box. If you use the #1 or #2 method above, Excel displays the Number tab, as in the image above. This is the one you need in order to find out the date format codes. However, if you use the #3 method (keyboard shortcut), Excel can show you a table other than the Number tab (as shown above). In this case, simply go to the Number tab. Step #2: Select the Date category Since you are interested in date format code, select Date in the Category list box on the left of the Format Cells dialog box. Step #3: Select the Date format type containing the format code you want once you have selected the Date category, Excel displays the type of built-in date format inside the Type box on the right of the Format Cells dialog box. This allows you to choose from several different date formats. For example, in the image above, I select the option 14-Mar-12: Step #4: Select the Custom Categories once you have selected the date format type you are interested in, click Custom in the Category list box on the right of the Format Cells dialog. Step #5: Find the Date Format Code once you have completed the above 4 steps, Excel displays the corresponding date format code and the date format type you selected in above #3 step. The following format code displaying in the Type box appears on the upper-right section of the Format Cells dialog box. The date format code shown in the example above, is [$-en-US]d-mmm-yy;@. This format code corresponds to the option of 14-Mar-12 and the English (United States) locates that I select in the #3. Once you have this date format code, you can go back to your VBA code and use this as the argument for the Range.NumberFormat property. To see how this works in practice, let's go back to the World Cup calendar that I introduced above. If you want to apply the format shown above, the VBA code looks as follows: As I show below, you can achieve the same date format effect without the first part of the date format code which references the local settings. This means you can delete [$-highlights-US]. However, for the moment, I left it in. For purposes of this example, I modified the formatting of the dates which displayed in the sample table. Let's assume that, before applying this new version of the macro to Format_Dates, all the dates have the long date format, as shown in the following screenshot: Before executing the macro in Format_Dates, I select the cell that I want to format. In this case, I select the date in the first row of the table. This match on June 12 of 2014, which is the date of the match between Brazil and Croatia. Once I execute the above version of macro Format_Dates, the date format changes to following: 5-step method to find date format code described above may be useful in some situations. However, Excel date format codes follow some general rules. If you know them, you don't have to go through the whole process described above every single time you want to create a macro that date formats. Let's take a look at these general rules and some additional examples: Date Format Code in Excel and VBA: General guide to format date codes that you can use to format a date by using VBA displayed in the table below. As shown in the following sections, you can use the following codes to create different types of date format to use in your VBA code. Format code applies toFormat CodeDescriptionHow it looks at monthMonth practice displayed as numbers. It does not include a leading 0.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 MwamDisplay month as a number. If the month is between January (Month 1) and September (9 months), it includes a leading 0.01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12 MwamMonth the abbreviated names.

For days between 1 and 9, a leading 0 will appear.01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 Days (Weekdays)ddThe weekday is abbreviatedMon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sat, Day (weekday)dddThe full names of weekdays are displayed , Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, last year's Sunday 2 digits last year will appear at 99 Yearsially in the four digits of the year will appear the year 9990 Note, however, that the formatting function (which I mention at the beginning of this Excel tutorial) supports slightly different date format codes from those that appear in this chart. The following sections show examples of how all these different options can be applied to date formatting by using VBA. For each situation, I show both of the following: the VBA code in the sample Format_Dates macro. The resulting format of one of the dates in the sample table is scheduled at 2014 Brazil World Cup. Let's start taking a look at each of these: Format date by using VBA: Show a Single item in the date you may have Excel show just one of the items in a date, regardless of whether it's the month, the day or the year. To do this, the argument of the Range.NumberFormat property must only include the format code in the relevant item. Let's take a look at the different date formats you can find in including a single item, and how VBA code looks like: Format a date to show only the month by using VBA you can show a month by using any of these 5 options: #1 Option: Show month as a number (without leading 0) You can format a date in a way that: Only this month appears; and the month appears as a number without a leading 0. In this case, the format code that you use as arguments for the NumberFormat property is Me. The image shows the version of the sample Format_Dates macro that does this: let's go back to the sample table with the schedule of the World Cup 2014. I select the second date, which is June 13 of 2014 and the match between Mexico and Cameroon. The following image shows the results after the date formatted by the macro Format_Dates. Notice how only the month number (6, the corresponding June) appears. Notice, too, that the value in the Formula Bar will continue to be the same. The only thing that changes is the displayed date format in the cell itself. Option #2: Show the month as a number (and leading 0) this option is the same as the above one. More particularly: Only the month appears; and the month appears as a number. However, in this particular case, the month is displayed with a leading 0. In other words, if the relevant month is between January (month 01) and September (09 months), a 0% leader is added. For these reasons, the VBA code behind the Format_Dates macro looks as follows: This particular macro is applied to the third date of the World Cup schedule 2014. The date is June 13 of 2014. The teams play them Spain and the Netherlands. Once the macro Format_Dates is applied, the date looks as follows in the cell (where the formatting changes) and the Formula Bar (where the value remains the same): Option #3: Display the month as the Abbreviation 3-Letter If you choose to apply this option, the month name is displayed as a 3-letter abbreviation. In order to achieve this, the VBA code of the macro Format_Dates is as follows: let's continue with the same process of applying the new date formats to the match dates of the 2014 Brazil World Cup. In this case, the relevant date is June 13 of 2014. The match played is between Chile and Australia. The following image shows how the cell looks after the new format is applied. As in these cases before, the value of the date itself (as shown in the Formula Bar), does not change. Option #4: Display the full name of the month If you want to display the full name of the month corresponding to a date (not only its abbreviation), this version of the macro Format_Dates is in help: In order to apply this format to a date in the sample 2014 Brazil World Cup, I select the corresponding cell. In this case, the date is June 14 of 2014 and match the match between Colombia and Greece. The results of applying the new version of the macro Format_Dates shown in the following screenshot: The #5: Show the first letter of the month the way in which you can show just the month when formatting a date by using VBA is to show (only) the first letter of the relevant month. In this case, Format_Dates macro looks like this: This macro is applied to the date 14 June 2014. This date match match between Uruguay and Costa Rica. The results of executing the new macro are shown in this image: Format a date to show only the day number by using VBA as you can use VBA to format a date in a way that only the month appears, you can do the same for the day. In other words, you can use Visual Basic for Applications to format a date and have Excel show only the day. The following section 2 shows how you can modify the sample Format_Dates macro so that only the day (number) appears when the date is formatted. Option #1: Show the day number without leading 0 If you want Excel to display the day number without a leading 0 while using VBA, you can use this version of the sample Format_Dates macro: The date which this macro applies to the sample workbook is June 14 of 2014. In this case, the crucial match is that between England and Italy. The results of applying the macro Format_Dates shown in this image: #2 Option: Show the day number with leading 0 You can format dates in a way that Excel adds a leading 0 every time the day is only 1 digit long (1 to 9). This version of the Format_Dates macro version achieves this: If I continue down 2014 Brazil World Cuba To Match Schedule (as till now), this version of the Format_Dates macro would apply from the June 14, 2014 date. This date match match between Ivory Coast and Japan. However, since this day (14) does not require a leading 0, the result of applying the new version of the Format_Dates macro would be the same as that found above for the date of the match between England and Italy. To see how this date format works like every time the corresponding day is only one long digit, I go further down the sample table to one of the matches played at the beginning of July of 2014. More exactly, I apply the current version of Format_Dates macro from July 1 to 2014. Match which dates this match is what was played between Argentina and Switzerland. The following image shows the results of applying the macro Format_Dates at this date. Note that how, now, Excel adds a leading 0 to the day number of the cell. Format a date to show only the weekday by using vba section the previous year shows how you can use VBA to format a date in a way that only the day number appears. You can also format a date in a way that only weekdays are displayed. The following 2 sections show 2 ways where you can apply this date format by using VBA. #1 Option: Displays the weekday as an Abbreviation Letter 3 - The first way in which you can format a date to show the weekday allows you to have that weekday shown as a 3-letter letter This version of the Format_Dates macro achieves this: Let's go back to the match between Ivory Coast and Japan which I reference above and apply this new date format. The date of this match is June 14 of 2014. After executing the macro Format_Dates, the date looks like: #2 Option: Show the All Weekdays second in which you can format a date to display the weekday by using VBA to make Excel show the full name of weekday. This version of the sample Format_Dates macro formats a date in a way: Let's execute this macro for purposes of formatting the date of the match between Switzerland and Ecuador in the 2014 Brazil World Match schedule. This date, as shown in the image below, is June 15 of 2014. Running the Format_Dates macro while this cell in particular causes this change to the date format: Format a date to show only the Year using VBA so far, you have seen how you can format a date by using VBA to show only (i) the month, (ii) day numbers or (ii) weeks. In this section, I show you how to format a date by using VBA to show only the year. Let's take a look at the 2 options you have for the following reasons: #1 Option: Show last 2 digits of the year first way in which you can format a date to show only the year results in Excel show only the last 1 digits of the relevant year. To achieve this date format, you can use this version of the version Format_Dates: This date format is applied to June 15 date of 2014. This match follows the World Cup match between France and Honduras. The following image shows the results of executing the sample Format_Dates macro while this active cell: #2 Option: Show the full Year path to the second which you can format a date to show only the year results in Excel showing the full year. If you want to format a date in a way by using VBA, the following version of the Format_Dates achieves this result: I apply this date format to the date of the match between Argentina and Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is June 15 of 2014. Once the macro Format_Dates is executed, the results as shown in the following screenshot: Date format using VBA: Show several items in the Date examples in the section above explain different ways in which you can format a date by using VBA to show a single item (month, day or year) to this particular date. Having the ability to format a date in a way that only a single item is displayed is useful in certain scenarios. In addition, once you know the format codes that apply to each of the individual items in a date, you can easily start combining them for purposes of creating more complex and advanced date formatting. In any case, in a lot of cases, you will need to format date in such a way that more than 1 element appears. In the following sections, I go to some date format which result in Excel displays more than 1 item of the relevant date. even if I don't cover every single date format that you can possibly apply, the following examples give you an idea of the possibilities you have at your disposal and how you can apply them in your VBA code. All sections below follow the same form and show things 2: the version of the macro Format_Dates that applied. The result of executing that macro for purposes of format 1 of the dates in a match in the sample workbook that accompanied this blog post. Date format using VBA: Show my/d/yyyy version of this macro format Format_Dates a date in the form i/d/yyyy. The following image shows the result of applying this format to the date 16 June 2014. This date match match between Germany and Portugal. Date format using VBA: Show me/d to display a date in my form/d, you can use the following macro: When this macro is executed with the cell and the date of match between Iran and Nigeria (June 16 of 2014) is selected, the date format looks like: Date format using VBA: Show me/d/yyy format following macro a date so that it appears in the form i/d/yyy: The result of applying this format, Using the version of macro Format_Dates above, in the date of June 16 of 2014 (for the match between Ghana and the USA) shown as below: Date Formatting Using VBA : Show mm/dd/yyy You can format a date so that it's displayed in the form mm/dd/yyy using this version of Format_Dates macro: When this date format is applied to the date in the World Cup to match between Belgium and Algeria (June 17 of 2014), the result as shown in images this: Format Date by using VBA: Show d-mmm this version of the macro Format_Dates make Excel show the date in the d-mmm form: The results of executing this macro while the date in the World Cup match between Brazil and Mexico is selected (June 17 of 2014) to show the next image the Date Format using VBA : Show d-mmm-yy yy the next version of the macro Format_Dates making Excel date show date by using the form d-mm-yy: If I select 17 June 2014) before executing this version Format_Dates Macro , the resulting date format is as follows: Format Date using VBA: Show dd-mmm-y To apply the dd-mmm-yyy format to a particular date, You can use this version of the sample Format_Dates: The following screenshot shows the results of applying this version of the Format_Dates version to the date in which Australia played against the Netherlands in the 2014 Brazil World Cup (June 18 of 2014): Notice that, This notice, which, this notice , in this particular case, the resulting date format is exactly the same as that of the date of the match between Russia and Korea which is immediately above (and is used as an example of the previous section). To understand why this is the case, let's take a look at the date format codes used in each case: Russia vs Korea (June 17 of 2014) use the date format code Australia vs Netherlands (June 18 of 2014) contains date format code dd-mmm-yyy. Note that the only difference between both format codes is to the way the day represents. In the first case, the format code uses screenshot, showing the day number without a leading 0. In the second case, the format code is ddddd, which adds a leading 0 every time the day number contains a single digit (between 1 and 9). In this particular situation, the day numbers of both dates (17 and 18) have 2 digits. Therefore, the ddd format code does not add a leading 0 to the day number. The result is showing above: Both format codes (d-mmm-yyy and dd-mmm-yy) result in the same date format when the number of digits of the day is 2 (between 10 and 31). Let's go further down the match schedule of the 2014 Brazil World Cup to see how the format code dd-mmm-yy adds a leading 0 when applied to a date at which the day number has a single digit: the image below shows this. In this case in particular, the Format_Dates macro is applied to the July 2014 date, when Belgium played against the USA. Notice, specifically, the 0 leading to the day number (01 instead of 1). Date format using VBA: mmm-yyy this version of the Format_Dates macro version allows you to format a date by using the form mmm-yy: The resulting date format when this version Format_Date macro is executed as shown in the image below. The date format is June 18 of 2014, which match between Spain and Chile. Date format using VBA: mmm-yyy continues with date format which only displays the month and year, this version of Format_Dates macro applies the mmm-yyy code: The results of executing the macro on the date 18 in 2014 are shown in the image below. In this case, the date of the match for the World Cup match between Cameroon and Croatia. Date format using VBA: mmm d, yyyy this version of the sample Format_Dates date macro format for them being displayed using the form mmm d, yyyyy. The next image shows the results of executing this macro while a cell and the date 19 of 2014 is active. This date match in the World Cup match between Colombia and Coast Ivory. Date format using VBA: mmmm-yyy yy this version of the sample Format_Dates make Excel date show date using mmmm-yyy format. To see how a date looks when this formatted version of the Format_Dates version, let's back to 2014 Brazil World Cup match the schedule.the following screenshot shows how the June 19 date of 2014 (for the match between Uruguay and England) looks after this executed macro: Format date by using VBA : d-mmm-yyyy above, I showed the macro version of Format_Dates which uses the format codes d-mmm-yyy and dd-mmm-yyy. The version of this macro appears in the image below results in a similar date format. The main difference between this version and those displayed above is that the below version shows the 4 digits of the year. I executed that while the cell with the date of the World Cup match between Japan and Greece (June 19 of 2014) is selected. Date format is resulting in the image below: Date format using VBA: ddd, mmm ddd, yyyy this version of the sample Format_Dates macro make Excel date show using the long date format below the English (United States) locale setting. To see how this looks in practice, check out this image. This shows the date of the match between Italy and Costa Rica (June 20 of 2014) after the macro Format_Dates has been executed: So far, this Excel tutorial includes 24 different examples of how you can use Visual Basic for date format applications. The date formats introduced in the previous sections are relatively straightforward. These basic date formats include several of the most commonly used date formats in English American. You can also use them as a basis to create other macro format dates for less common date formatting. These basic date formats, however, are not the only ones you can apply. More precisely, once you have a good knowledge of how to apply date format using VBA, you can start creating more complex constructions. To finish this blog post, I introduce one following date format macro: Date format using VBA: Add a carriage return To Date You can add a carriage return to custom date format. This allows you to display different items of a date in different lines in one cell. Let's see how this looks in practice: The following screenshot shows an example of a date format with carriage return. The format date is June 20 of 2014, which matched the World Cup match between Switzerland and France. This example works with a date format which includes only months (using mmmm in format code) and year (using the yyyy format code). You can tweak the macro that I introduce below in order to adjust it to your needs and use any other date items or formatting. You can use Visual Basic for applications for these purposes. This macro (called Format_Dates_Carriage_Return) is the one that I used to achieve the date format shown in the image above. Some of the elements in this piece of VBA code probably look familiar. The following screenshot shows the elements that I introduced in the previous sections of this Excel tutorial: There are, however, a few other elements that I have not introduced in the previous sections of this blog post. These are the following 5: Elements #1: With Statement you can generally identify a statement due to its basic syntax. The following syntax is approximately as follows: Starting with a statement in the Form With object. In the case of Format_Dates_Carriage_Return, the following opening statement is With Selection. As explained above, the Application.Selection property returns the object that is currently selected. When date formatting using the above sample macro (Format_Dates_Carriage_Return), the selected object is a range of cells. Win 1 or statement from his body. You can easily identify these 2 statements in Format_Dates_Carriage_Return macro due to the fact that they are fainted. Close with an end and statement. The effect of using a statement is that all statements within it refer to the same object or structure. In this case: The Object to which all statements are referred to is that back by the Selection property. Statements that refer to the object returned by Selection are: the #1: . NumberFormat = mmmm > Chr(10) > yyyy. The #2: . RowHeight = . RowHeight * 2.#3: . WrapText = True.I explain each of the following statements below. Using the statement allows you, among other, to simplify the syntax of the macro. I use this statement in other sample macros to host Spreadsheets, including macros that delete blank rows. Element #2: Former (&) Operator of the first statement in the With... Ending with blocks is: . NumberFormat = mmmm > Chr(10) > yyyy Since, as explained above, this statement is working with the object returned by the Application.Selection property, it's the equivalent of: Selection.NumberFormat = mmmm > Chr(10) & yyyy Most of this statement follow exactly the same structure of (pretty much) all of the other macro examples I include in the previous sections. There are, however, a couple of new elements. One of the new components is the ampersand operator (&). Notice how there are 2 years (&) in the following statement: In the Visual Basic for application settings, the former (&) operator works in a very similar way as to how it works in Excel itself. This means that, in VBA, former (&) is a connected operator. In other words, in Format_Dates_Carriage_Return macro, ampersand(&) cancel the following 3 expressions: Expression #1:mmmm. The #2: Chr(10). The #3: yyyy. The #2 above leads me to the next and last element you need to be aware of in order to understand the first statement of the With... End with the locking macro in sample: Insert #3: The Function Chr Function returns a string. The string is returned determined by the particular character code that you feed as an argument. In the sample Format_Dates_Carriage_Return macro, the character code is number 10. This corresponds with a linefe character. In other words: Chr(10) is what actually adds the carriage return between month and year the date. The second statement of the With... End and Block is also new. Let's take a look at the new element it introduces: the Inserted #4: the Range.RowHeight property of the Range.RowHeight property allows you to set the height for a range. In Format_Dates_Carriage_Return the sample macro, this property is used for purposes of doubling the height of the row for which you are changing the date format. This is made by the statement: . RowHeight = . RowHeight * 2 The right side expression of the equal sign (=) takes the current row height with, the asterisk (*) operator, multiplying it by 2. The result of applying this property change to the sample table and the 2014 Brazil World Cup Match Schedule is that a row can now fit the 2 date elements separated by the carriage return. Compare these 2 screenshots to see the difference this statement makes in the date format. The first image shows what happens when macros in Format_Dates_Carriage_Return executed without having the statement under analysis. The date format, which matchs the match between Honduras and Ecuador, is June 20 of 2014. The image below shows the result of the Range.RowHeight property for purposes of doubling the row height. Date format corresponding to those of the match between Argentina and Iran (June 21 of 2014). Notice that this format is no longer what we want. More specifies, the month and year corresponding to the date formatting are displayed on the same line. The #5, which I explain below, fixed this. If the height of cells with date format you are modified is enough to fit all the elements/lines, you may not need to include this particular statement in your date-formatting macro. In other cases, you may need to change the factor where you multiply the current row height. In other words, instead of using the number 2 at the end of the statement (as I do in the sample macro), you may need to use a different number. The use of the Range.RowHeight property is optional and does not affect the date format of the selected cells. You can choose to increase it in your macros, or work with a different property. The reason why I use RowHeight in the sample Format_Dates_Carriage_Return for illustration purposes only. In particular, it ensures that the cell that I format by using this macro shows the complete date. Let's take a look at the fifth and last view of the new introduced elements in the sample Format_Dates_Carriage_Return macro: Element #5: Range.WrapText Properties Range.WrapText Properties allows you to determine whether Excel wraps the text in the relevant object. In the sample Format_Dates_Carriage_Return macro, which relevant row object is the range of cells returned by the Application.Selection property. In Format_Dates_Carriage_Return, the WrapText property is used for purposes of wrapping the text in its own cell. More precisely, the following statement sets the true property for all the cells in the range returned by the Selection property: . WrapText = True the last image I show when explaining the Range.RowHeight property above shows both the month and the year on the same line. The following image allows you to compare the results obtained when I execute: (i) the macro version that does not include the WrapText property (for the date of the match between A and Iran) and (ii) the macro version that uses the WrapText property (to match between Germany and Ghana): The conclusion of this Excel tutorial explains properties in large details and show how you can use it for purposes of date formatting by using VBA. As you have probably achieved, to successfully apply date format by using VBA generally boils down to know and understanding these 2 topics: Article #1: the Range.NumberFormat property. Item #2: Date format codes. Besides reading about these 2 articles, you have seen 25 different date format formats by using VBA. Such a long list of examples may seem a little exempt, and there are several simulator between some of the date formats I apply. However, these 25 examples are proof of the flexibility you have when formatting date by using VBA. At the same time, a base is provided for you to create your own macros to apply different date formats.
