Date Format in Excel
14-Feb-18 , 14-Feb and February 14,2018 are allowed while 2/014/2018, 02/14/18 and 2/14/2018 are not allowed
Explanation:
In Excel, there are date formats which support the formats
dd-mmm-yy ( 14-Feb-18)
dd-mmm (14-Feb)
Month Dd, yyyy ( February 14, 2018)
Where as the dates
2/014/2018
, 02/14/18
, 2/14/2018 are not supported as the '/' cannot be used in date format. However, if you wish to write date in these formats, you have to write them as text like '2/014/2018
, '02/14/18
, '2/14/2018, but then in that case you will not be able to perform any date functions. This can be used only to display the text
