="Printed " & today()
ForSale, try something like this,
="Printed " & TEXT(TODAY(), "MM/DD/YYYY") -- Paul B Always backup your data before trying something new Please post any response to the newsgroups so others can benefit from it Feedback on answers is always appreciated! Using Excel 2002 & 2003 "ForSale" wrote in message ... I put ="Printed " & today() in a cell thinking that the date would update each time the sheet was opened. I'm having trouble formatting the date, it keeps reading "Printed 38681". How can I change the format the date to an understandable number? If that is not possible, is there a more efficient way of achieving what I am wanting?
