Text & Date Formatting
Hi,
I have on a sheet the formula ="Date Of Issue:"&'sheet1'!a1 In Sheet 1, a1 cell I have a date value. (05/10/06 as displayed on that sheet) What I get on the other sheet is: Date of Issue: 38995 How can I format the cell as custom, so it displays: Date Of Issue: 05/10/06 Thanks for any advice, Aaron. |
