date and text together
Posted by Ed on September 27, 2001 10:12 AM
I have the following in a cell
="text text text text "&F10" text text text text"
The reference is calling a field with a date. I want the date to show in the text in a date format (any date format at this point). I have tried formatting the entire cell as date, but it is not working.
Please help.
Thank you.

I left off an ampersand should be....
="text text text text "&F10&" text text text text"
Incorporating text and called cells is not my problem. Although from my original message it might look that way.
Thank you.

Try using
="text text text text "&TEXT(F10,"mmm d, yyyy")&" text text text text"
You can change the formatting of the date by changing the text string "mmm d, yyyy" to whatever format you want.
