Default Combine text and today's date in a cell

Try something like this:

="Today is: "&TEXT(TODAY(),"MMMM DD, YYYY")

If today is August 29, 2006
that formula returns: Today is August 29, 2006

Does that help?

Couple of examples

="this file was created on: " &TEXT(Creadate(),"mmmm d" &"," &"yyyy")

=B1& " " &TEXT(C1,"mmmm d" &"," &"yyyy") where B1 contains text

And one more to have text, date and a an amoun in the cell.

="Payment due " &TEXT(H15,"mmmm, d yyyy") & " " & TEXT(I15,"$#,##0.00")
