    Combining text with NOW() function in single cell

    Is there any way to display test and the NOW() function in a single cell? I have tried using concatenate or simply & in a formula, but NOW() displays as a number rather than a date. The goal is for a single cell to display what is shown in cells B2 and C2 of the attached sheet.

    change the formula to this... =CONCATENATE("CURRENT DATE AND TIME: ",TEXT(NOW(),"m/d/yyyy"))

    if you want to also show the time, make it this way... =CONCATENATE("CURRENT DATE AND TIME: ",TEXT(NOW(),"m/d/yyyy hh:mm"))
