Hello! I hope someone can help with this. What I am trying to do is concatenate 2 (or more) dates, and apply a strikethrough to the first date (or all but the last date). I can successfully concatenate two dates with a alt-enter by using:

=TEXT(A1,"m/d/yyyy")&CHAR(10)&TEXT(A2,"m/d/yyyy")

Even if I add a strikethrough to the date in A1, it does not carryover into the concatenated cell. Does anyone know how I can do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 

Excel Facts

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
Concatenation doesn't carry over formatting, just values.

The only way to do it would be to use VBA, and that would involve changing the formula to it's value.

How is the format of the cell where the formula is, is there a StrikeThrough font?

Is there a strikethrough
No as Norie mentioned it:
formatting does not carryover by formula
