Date format within a text syntex?
I have two date fields that users enter dates into.
I have a field with the following formula where I want the dates to appear within a preformatted sentence: ="FOR THE PLAN YEAR " & 'ENTER DATA'!B13 & " THROUGH " & 'ENTER DATA'!B15 The forula works but the dates are resulting in numbers or date values. I would prefer to see the dates (i.e. 01/04/05) Can excel do that?
