Default Date Format

Dear Expert,
Maybe for you,it's easy ... but I really cannot make it.
Cell A1 is Date 21-Feb-1994
Cell B1 is Date 23-Mar-1994
I used A1&"/"&A2. I give a chance of numbers.
I just want to display 21-Feb-1994/23-Mar-1994.
Can you advise how to?

=TEXT(A1,"dd-mmm-yyyy")&"/"&TEXT(A2,"dd-mmm-yyyy")
.... or B1 if you want that instead of A2 ...

sorry

with dates in A1 and B1 the formula should read:

=TEXT(A1,"dd-mmm-yyyy") & "/" & TEXT(B1,"dd-mmm-yyyy")

Use Text function.

=TEXT(A1,"DD-MMM-YYYY")&"/"&TEXT(A2,"DD-MMM-YYYY")

You can save one concatenation operation by moving the slash into one of the
format patterns, for example...

=TEXT(A1,"DD-MMM-YYYY/")&TEXT(A2,"DD-MMM-YYYY")
