Date Format
A date has been entered in cell E4, 31/03/2010 but has been formatted
so as to display as MAR-10. That's okay, that's what I want. I now wish to refer to that cell at B12 using the following - ="Closing Balance at "&E4 However, this displays as Closing Balance at 40268 I think I have to format the date reference 40268 within my formula in B12 but do not have a clue how to do that. The format I want to display is 31-MAR-2010 Can anybody advise? Many Thanks, Dave Moore |
