format date & number within a cell containing text
I'm trying to create cells in a worksheet which are text with calculated
dates & numbers imported from other cells in the workbook. My problem is that the date reverts to the numeric form & the numbers have many decimal places. I would like to retain the mm/dd/yyyy date format & display only whole numbers. The formula I am using to import the information is: ="text to appear with date" & Q5 or =L5& " text to describe number" What can I do to change the results? |

Try this:
="text to appear with date " & TEXT(Q5,"mm/dd/yyyy") or =INT(L5) & " text to describe number" Hope this helps.
