I too have a little memory lapse, but i think this is simply a formatting solution. Format the day in the format you want, enter 1/1/2007, get 1st Jan 2007. Or if you want 01.01/07 and 1st jan 2007 next to each other make the next colum a replicar of the previous one and just change the formatting. I have just tryed it and it works, suppose there is a right way to do this, or a better way but i cant think, and its been years since i studdied excel...
