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!

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
You put the double quotes around "ddmmmmyyyy" instead of A3.
