use ="Last Update: " & Text(F2,"mm/dd/yyyy")

The "+" that you are currently using is the old Lotus 1-2-3
method; loose it!

How can I format a cell to hold text ("Last update:") and a date which
is obtained from another cell? The Formula reads something like +"Last
update: "&f2. The date comes out as its numerical value.

Is it possible.

Thanks
