    Cell reference, output dates to numeric. Should output as text

    Hi there,

    I have attached a dummy workbook. Basically, I'm just trying to get cell E2 to display the min and max of col A

    The output is always in numeric. I don't know why. Can someone help?

    Try it like this

    =TEXT(MIN(A:A),"m/d/yyyy")&"-"&TEXT(MAX(A:A),"m/d/yyyy")
