3Hi,

I have 2 fields which I need to merge into 1. The formula I have so far
is
=A1&"_"&A2

Cell A1 is text (Eg. AC) and A2 is a date (Eg. 01/01/2001). I need the
result to be AC_01/01/2001, but instead it shows up as AC_36892.

Is there any way of formatting the cell so it inputs the date rather than
the number of days since 01/01/1900?

Thanks

CMO
