    Re: =TODAY + concatenate

    what are the issues, right now? I can tell you that the formula has an issue because date() is a function that needs something inside the brackets.... if you want the current date, it is today()
    also, you are calculating last row based column N, but since you just inserted column N......

    Oh yes that's actually better.... that was easy...

    Do you how I can also format the column so that when I use the today function within the vba, the column is in the text format ?

    Thank you.
