& help with date format
 

Hello and thanks for the help.

I am bringing together two cells one with the date and then a dash, the next
cell has my note. I cannot seem to figure out how to keep the date format.
Any help?

Use the text function to tell Excel how to format the number in C2 (dates are
really just numbers formatted in a certain way).
=text(c2,"dddd, mmmm dd, yyyy") & " - " & c3

This is great - thanks

Can you also tell me how I would go about making the date bold?

Thanks again

You can't do that through a formula, but you could through format.
