For instance, “” would show as “dd/mm/yyyy” in this box. In the “Custom” option, you’ll see the date number formatting style shown as text in the “Type” box. Once that’s selected, choose the “Custom” option. In the “Format Cells” menu, select a style of formatting that you like from the “Date” options provided. From there, select the arrow next to the number format drop-down menu and choose the “More Number Formats” option. To do this, highlight the cells containing your original date values, then select the “Home” tab on the ribbon bar. The value itself won’t change, but Excel won’t show the year value thanks to custom number formatting.
You can customize this number format, however, to remove the year entirely from view. For instance, you can switch between “” (in the DD/MM/YYYY format commonly used in the U.K.) and “” for 11 February 2021. You can customize this type to display the date value in different ways. When you add a date in Excel in a format that it recognizes, Excel automatically changes the cell number format to the “Date” type. The same is true for currency values, where currency symbols are added to values to show that they relate to money. While a date value in an Excel cell is technically a number, Microsoft Excel uses a particular type of formatting to display it.
