TEXT formula does not return date

[2Took]

=TEXT("G" & ". " & G10 & " - " & INDIRECT("G"&L1),"mm.dd.yy")

Returns date's serial:
G. Image In Date - 44648

Instead of date itself, G column contains that date in it:
G. Image In Date - 03.28.22

You need to put the TEXT part on just the date part, not on the whole concatenation, as you are just formatting the date part, i.e.

="G" & ". " & G10 & " - " & TEXT(INDIRECT("G"&L1),"mm.dd.yy")
