Simple concatenation including date
Hi there
Trying a very simple concatenation =A18 & " " & B18 but the problem is, B18 is a date. So whenever it calculates it comes back as "National Enquirer 40057" instead of "National Enquirer 01-Sep" as the two cells currently hold. Is there something I'm missing from my formula? Thanks Mike |
