Hi all, TIA..
I'm trying to reference a user defined date in B4, it's formatted "MMM dd, yyyy" in C8 i'm trying to use: ="["&$B$4&"]"&$C$8 to have it pull from another sheet named by date, ie: Nov 25, 2004.xls, hence why i formatted B4 as MMM dd, yyyy. The issue is that it returns the date serial number instead of the entered text, so the answer is [38316] instead of the text. The user would like to enter a date to look up and have Excel return the appropriate days' responses. If there's an easier way to pull this, i'm all ears! :-) Thanks again, Kevin M |
