Formatting text and date together
How can I format a cell to hold text ("Last update:") and a date which is obtained from another cell? The Formula reads something like +"Last update: "&f2. The date comes out as its numerical value. Is it possible.

Use the text function to format the numeric component to suit your needs,
along the lines of ="Last Updated on " & TEXT(A1,"Mmm dd") --Bruce "Brisbane Rob" wrote: How can I format a cell to hold text ("Last update:") and a date which is obtained from another cell?

Formatting text and date together
use ="Last Update: " & Text(F2,"mm/dd/yyyy")
