Another Date formula question
Hi,
Was wondering if someone could help me with a problem I am having with a date in excel. I am trying to have a hybrid cell featuring both text and a date. The date is located in another cell, on another worksheet, and is being pulled through to the cell (there is a good reason for this). My current formula looks similar to this. ="Week Commencing"&+Page1!D23 What I end up getting is Week Commencing 39363, instead of Week Commencing 10/10/07. If I remove the text part of the formula I get the correct date. I have played around within format cell but can't get the date to display correctly. I would be grateful if someone could give me an idea of how to solve this! Thanks! |
