    Create list of text dates in one cell from separate cells containing a date serial.

    Hello,

    I'm trying to create a list of text dates in one cell from separate cells, each containing a date serial.

    The formula I've used is:

    =TEXT(R19,"mm, dd, yyyy")&""&TEXT(S19,"mm, dd, yyyy")&""&TEXT(T19,"mm, dd, yyyy")&""&TEXT(U19,"mm, dd, yyyy")

    (where R19, S19, T19, and U19 each hold a date serial).

    But I'm receiving the NAME error. Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    You should be using one of the date functions not text I think.
    If someone helped give them rep using the star button.

    If you have received a satisfactory solution please mark the thread solved. If not Fotis will come for you at night :P
