Fastest way to copy a worksheet?

Hello and welcome to MrExcel.

Format the cell as Custom dd-mmm (in English Excel, it might be different in Dutch). Then hit CTRL + ; then press Enter.

Thanks for your quick reply, but I had already tried that and that doesn't work.

It still gives the same output.
