Default Date formating

You can do it like this:

="Amount "&A2&" Settled on "&TEXT(B2,"mm/dd/yyyy")

You don't need to use CONCATENATE - the & operator does the same.

Hope this helps.

Hi All

Excel is not pulling the date in proper format while applying the date cell
in a formula.
ER:
*ColumnA * * * ColumnB * * *ColumnC
*Amount * * * * *Date * * * * * * Settled
* 250 * * * * * * *4/9/2008 * * *Amount 250 Settled on 39547

Column C formula is =CONCATENATE("Amount"," ",A2," ","Settled on ",B2)

* I need date 04/09/08 in C column not 39547. Formula should give me Amount
250 settled on 04/09/08.

Is there any function to resolve this?

Thanks in advance.
