Hi,

I think this is probably a simple fix but for the life of me I can not work out to get it displaying properly. I have the below formula:

="as at "&TODAY() and it is returning "as at 43916"

I would like it to return the date in date format not as a number.

Thanks in advance for any help.
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
="as at " & Text(Today(), "d/m/yy")

Alternatively, format the cell : "as at "d/m/yy
and then the formula would be : =Today()
