Converting a Date Value to Text

[cdnqte]

I have a sheet that I want to show the dates being compared in one cell at the top of the sheet.

For example, it would say "May 2007 vs. May 2006" in one cell.

The actual CYR and LYR dates are stored on another sheet as they are used as parameters that update the data. I thought using the following command would give me what I want:

=concatenate(a1&" vs. "&a2)

(assuming the dates are in cells a1 and a2)

However, all I get are the numeric values of the date.

I tried using the text and value functions as well but it does the same thing.

How can I concatenate those two fields and display the actual date instead of the numeric value?

Try:

=TEXT(A1,"mmm yyyy")&" vs. "&TEXT(A2,"mmm yyyy")
