    Dated formula not working

    for some reason I cant get this formula to work correctly in this cell.

    ="Date: " & TODAY()

    it returns
    Date: 44650

    I only have one cell for the date so I wanted to combine it like I do on other formulas.

    Any thoughts

    Re: Dated formula not working

    you need to format the date using text()

    ="Date: " & TEXT(TODAY(),"DD/MM/YY")

    change the "DD/MM/YY" to however you want the date to be displayed
