Resolving percent and date formats as such in concatenate function and emails
Any ideas on how to get percnet format come across as such. In Excel I
have 2.8912% and it's coming across on the email as .028912... In addition, is it possible to get this formatting done in a concatenate formula? e.g., ="The rates below reference"&A2&"." Where A2 = 4/12/05, this resolves as "The rates below reference 38505" (or whatever the Excel date is) instead of "The rates below reference 4/12/05" |

Resolving percent and date formats as such in concatenate function and emails
Sorry, I should have read your question all the way through.
For the percent, try =TEXT(A2,"#.0000%") and for the date in the concatenate formula, try ="The rates below reference "&TEXT(A2,"m/d/yy") Steve "Steve Yandl" wrote in message ...
