Date Format
I have this formula in a cell =IF(K2="","","Check Number"&" "&J2&" "&"in the
amount of "&I2&" was mailed on "&(K2)), and on cell K2 i have the date format as mm/dd/yy, but the result returned this "Check Number 12345 in the amount of 258.93 was mailed on 39797." How can I change the 39797 to show 12/15/08? Thanks. |

=IF(K2="","","Check Number"&" "&J2&" "&"in the amount of "&I2&" was mailed on "&TEXT(K2,"mm/dd/yy")) Mike "Perkykid" wrote: I have this formula in a cell =IF(K2="","","Check Number"&" "&J2&" "&"in the amount of "&I2&" was mailed on "&(K2)), and on cell K2 i have the date format as mm/dd/yy, but the result returned this "Check Number 12345 in the amount of 258.93 was mailed on 39797."

How can I change the 39797 to show 12/15/08? Instead of just K2, include this as the last part of the formula: TEXT(K2,"mm/dd/yy") |

hi
a date format technically is a number format and your cell that contains the formula =IF(K2="","","Check Number"&" "&J2&" "&"in the amount of "&I2&" was mailed on "&(K2)) retuns text. you cann't apply a number format to text. solution. incorperate the format in the formula..... =IF(K2="","","Check Number"&" "&J2&" "&"in the amount of "&I2&" was mailed on "&Text(K2, "mm/dd/yy")) note that portion of the formula that refers to k2 not is.... text(k2, "mm/d/yy") regards FSt1 "Perkykid" wrote: I have this formula in a cell =IF(K2="","","Check Number"&" "&J2&" "&"in the amount of "&I2&" was mailed on "&(K2)), and on cell K2 i have the date format as mm/dd/yy, but the result returned this "Check Number 12345 in the amount of 258.93 was mailed on 39797." How can I change the 39797 to show 12/15/08? Thanks. |
