The formula is working fine for date like "21-03-2022" which is converted to "21-Mar-2022" but date like "10-07-2022" is converted to "07-Oct-2022". The date and month is getting swapped when date is between 1-12.Dont know what goes wrong. Is there any solution to fix it ? Thankyou Replies: Posted By: kevlray Date Posted: 12 Apr 2022 at 4:23am Sounds like a country setting. You might be better using the Day, Month, Year functions and building your own date string.
