Date converts to number when part of a formula
Cell A1 contains text. Cell B1 contains a date (08/06/2008), and cell C1
contains text. I want to combine the cells into one cell. I know to use =(A1&" "&B1&" "&C1) as the formula. However, every time I use that forumla, i get 39666 instead of the date I actually wanted. The text transfers nicely to my new combined cell, but I just can't figure out how to make the date copy. Your help is appreciated! |

Date converts to number when part of a formula
=A1&TEXT(B1,"mm/dd/yyyy")&C1
Formula just needs to format the incoming value as text. -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "John T Kennedy" wrote: Cell A1 contains text.
