format the date with a line break in Excel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate Format With Line Break in Excel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n When we want to insert a line break in our cells, we use a combination of ALT + ENTER<\/strong>. This will be the result:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe can read \u201cWe will insert the date in cell A2\u201d<\/strong> but it looks funny and unreadable. To make it better, we will select the cell, and then choose the Wrap Text option in Alignment<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf needed, we will expand cell A1<\/strong>, and the text will appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe same approach we use for this will be used for formatting dates. In cell A2<\/strong>, we will insert the date January 16th, 2021<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nTo format this date with line break, we need to select it, then either right-click on it<\/strong> and choose Format Cells<\/strong>, or find the number formatting option in the Home tab<\/strong>. We will choose the first option<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn the dialog box that appears, we will choose Custom in the Number tab<\/strong>, then insert \u201cdd\u201d under Type<\/strong>, followed by CTRL + j <\/strong>(this will allow us to write in the next line under Type<\/strong>), then we will type \u201cmm\u201d<\/strong>, followed by another CTRL + j<\/strong>, and finally, we will type \u201cyyyy\u201d<\/strong>. This is what our sample will look like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhen we click OK<\/strong>, we will have the numbers written in cell A2<\/strong>, but in this funny format:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn the formula bar, we can notice that the date still remains the same, which means we need to use the same approach- select the cell, choose Wrap Text<\/strong>, and then expand cell A2<\/strong>. This is our final result:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Excel has many formatting options for numbers, fonts, and everything else we might need and use.
