Hi All,

I'm working with today's date on my sheet.

For example; in cell A42 I have:

Excel Formula:
=TODAY()

Cell A42 is formatted, where the Format Cell is structured ddmmmyyyy.

So, using today's date of 04/19/2024, cell A42 will return it as 19Apr2024.

If I want to reference cell A42 as "TEXT" in cell A43, how would this be accomplished?

Because right now I'm getting an error.

Please help!

Thank you!
