Hi All, here is my current formula:

=CONCATENATE(B5," ",F5)

B5 = 2024-08-29
F5 = Cedarcrest

Output = 45533 Cedacrest

I need this to say "20240829-Cedarcrest"

Can anyone help with these adjustments?

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
