Help with the CONCATENATE formula
You'll need to use the TEXT function to force the formatting of inserted
dates. Formula then becomes: ="Your service will expire on "&TEXT(Sheet2!D32,"mmmm dd, yyyy")&". However, your last preventive maintanence with revalidation was on "&TEXT(Sheet2!D33,"mmmm dd, yyyy")&"." -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "tech1NJ" wrote: I would like to CONCATENATE the following phrases on Sheet1!A19 with dates from Sheet2!D32 and Sheet2!D33 but am having some problems.

Help with the CONCATENATE formula
The concatenate will pull in the value but not the format. You can dictate
the format using the text function: ="Your service will expire on " & text(Sheet2!D32,"Mmmm d, yyyy") etc "tech1NJ" wrote: I would like to CONCATENATE the following phrases on Sheet1!A19 with dates from Sheet2!D32 and Sheet2!D33 but am having some problems.

Help with the CONCATENATE formula
If you convert the date to a text format using the following formula it may
show properly in the concatenate formula. Refernence the cell with the text formula in your concatenate formula (no need to paste special as "value"). =TEXT(F1,"mmmmmmmm dd, yyyy") were F1 is the date you want included.
