date and text concatenation
I tried to concatenate cell A1 with date (27.07.2005) and cell B1 with text (INVOICE 777) by using formula in cell C1 (=A1&" "&B1)and received the following result *38560 INVOICE 777*. But I want to see the result as *27.07.2005 INVOICE 777*. How to avoid the date convertion? Please advise.
