Long Date Code for Excel?

[Nate_Burgher]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

So I'm taking an Excel class online, but unfortunately all tech classes are PC based, not Mac. In the book, they are asking me to put my current date (04/02/09) into the long date format (Thursday, August 02, 2009). How can I do this? I've googled everywhere and messed around with the format of cells in Excel for the past hour and have found nothing. I would be content with creating a custom code in my Excel, I just need some sort of solution. Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi Nate,

You can apply a custom number format, using:
dddd, mmmm dd, yyyy
or
DDDD, MMMM DD, YYYY
