How do I extract a date as text not the 1900 reference number
I know how to format a date within a cell, but when I reference that cell in
a line of text I am constructing, e.g. ="Since "&A1", XXX has changed by "&B2&"%" ..., the date comes across in the 1900 number format, e.g. it displays as "Since 38414 ..." instead of saying "Since 3 March 2005 ..." How do I get it to give me the date as text rather than Excel's background reference number? |
