Trying to concatenate two dates with a "To" between to show a beginning and
Ending date. Unfortunately, Excel keeps posting the dates as a serial number.
Since this is to be presented to a customer that will not work. I need the
dates in 06/13/2006 to 06/12/2007 format. I am using the formula below. I
have tried to change the number format using the Format Cells - Number -
Date and General and Text settings, none of which work... can anyone assist?

=IF('Service Renewal raw'!AA4="","",IF('Service Renewal
raw'!AB4="","",CONCATENATE('Service Renewal raw'!AA4, " to ",'Service Renewal
raw'!AB4)))

Thanks,

You need to use the TEXT function when you concatenate dates:

CONCATENATE(TEXT('Service Renewal raw'!AA4,"mm/dd/yyyy"), " to ",TEXT('Service
Renewal raw'!AB4,"mm/dd/yyyy")
