For this formula:

=CONCATENATE(BB201, " on ",BE201)

where BE201 is a cell with either a date, or a date and time,

my problem is that while the value in the BE201 cell itself shows up
formatted as a date and not the Excel value for the date, when I grab it as
the second part of my concatenate string, it shows up as the numeric date
value.

Is there a way to have BE201 show up as text, say, 01/20/05 instead of
38747???

I have fiddled around with a few ideas, none of which seems to work. My
thanks in advance for thoughts or a solution.

Cheers! Brad
