Text concantenated with a link to another spreadsheet field
I have some notations in a cell and then I have added a link to another
spreadsheets' field that is a date. When I look at the information the date is given in Julian format. How do I get it to be in mm/dd/yyyy format? Excel 2000. Thx, CLM |
="this is the due date: " & text(sheet2!a1,"mm/dd/yyyy")

Or if your formula was just:
=sheet1!a1 just format the cell the way you want (format|cells|number tab) CLM wrote: I have some notations in a cell and then I have added a link to another spreadsheets' field that is a date.

Dave,
Thank you so much. I know in Access it's Format(sheet2!a1,"mm/dd/yyyy") but that didn't exist in Excel and help wasn't much help.

When I put in the syntax as you suggested below:
=+'E:\0412\[hproj.xls]Port'!$AZ$6 & " - " & TEXT('E:\0412\[hproj.xls]Port'!$BE$6,"mm/dd/yyyy") I get the result of #VALUE! The text() goes infront of the connection to the folder path correct?
