    Displaying Cell Date with "&" in another Cell

    Hi folks...

    I'm trying to get excel to display a quote, plus a cell's text/value... the problem I am having is that the format is a date, and it ends up showing something like 37896 instead of 11/25/2008 (those are examples, not actuals)

    Here's the code:

    A63 is an Hlookup that references which cell is the first to say "insufficient" and checks down a few lines for the date.

    Thanks!

    the cell with the date in is returning thate date as a number, if you want it to appear as a date replace A63 with something like

    text(A63,"dd/mm/yy")

    depending on the datre format you require

    Regards
