Default today functions

I want to be able to put the following on a spreadsheet: Status as of August
15, 2008 @ 0600. I used the following formula: ="Status as of "&TODAY()&" at
0600". The problem is that I do not know how to make the text stay text
formatting and the date go to date formating. I know that I could do it in
adjacent cells but it does not look very clean due to the change in length.
Thank you in advance for the support.

How do you want the date, like mm/dd/yyyy?


="Status as of "&TEXT(TODAY(),"mm/dd/yyyy")&" at 0600"

The TODAY() function will update tomorrow.

Is that what you want?
