Default Convert Dates to text

I am trying to convert a date - 2/3/06 - into text format to run an
INDIRECT formula. I want the date to convert to 02-03-06 as text.
Would there be a way to do this without having to retype the date?

Hi,

try this:

=Text(A1,"dd-mm-yy")

to have the date in a day-month-year format, or:

=Text(A1,"mm-dd-yy")

to have the date in a month-day-year format,

where your date is A1.
