MS-Excel -trick to format the data

Most of our day to day work we need to use MS-Excel to summarize or calculate some business data. We may have to bucket these data into various format. For e.g I need to analyze last year sales data month on month but the date should be in this particular format YYYY-MM-DD and the format of the same in spread sheet is in this format YYYYMMDD.

We can change the format by two methods-

1. add custom format by right clicking and select custom option

give the required format here as showed in Fig 2 which enables to use the same format easily in other part of the excel as well.
