Making one field equal 2 others
3Hi,
I have 2 fields which I need to merge into 1. The formula I have so far is =A1&"_"&A2 Cell A1 is text (Eg. AC) and A2 is a date (Eg. 01/01/2001). I need the result to be AC_01/01/2001, but instead it shows up as AC_36892. Is there any way of formatting the cell so it inputs the date rather than the number of days since 01/01/1900? Thanks CMO |
