Excel Date format


To change the format of a date value, select the cell and then open the Format Cells dialog box.

The Format Cells dialog box can be opened by using the following ribbon icon:

Home > Format > Format Cells

 
Custom Date Codes

There are many built-in custom formats that you can select from the list, or, you can enter a custom format code into the Type field. When you enter a custom format code, you have great flexibility in how you display the month, day, and year. For example, if you want the show the month name fully spelled out, you would use code mmmm. If you want to show the month as a three-letter abbreviation, you would use code mmm.

Excel : Changing Font and Size Conditionally

Is there a way to use Excel's conditional formatting capabilities to change the font used in a cell or to change the font size in a cell. The short answer is no, that can't be done—at least not with conditional formatting. 


You can, however, use a macro to examine cell contents and make changes in the appearance of a cell. Consider the following macro, which examines any cells you have selected when you run the macro. If any of the cells have a length of more than two characters or a value of more than 20, then the cell's font is changed.

Below are the steps to follow

1) Open Excel
2) Click on Developer Tab
3) Click On Macro
4) Write below Macro Code

Sub Check_Conditional_Formattinf()
    Dim rCell As Range
    For Each rCell In Selection.Cells
        If Len(rCell.Text) > 2 Or _
          Val(rCell.Value) > 20 Then
            rCell.Font.Name = "Cambria"
            rCell.Font.Size = 30
        Else
            rCell.Font.Name = "Arial"
            rCell.Font.Size = 12
        End If
    Next
End Sub

5) Open Excel
6) Write from 1 to 100 in Cell A1 to A100
7) Select Cells
8) Run Macro

and here will be the result...
