I apologize if this has been asked before, I tried searching this forum for a solution but nothing seems to be exactly what I'm looking for.

I have the following text string ="PROJECTED BALANCE AT "&B19

Cell B19 contains the date that I want inserted into this text string. However, Excel is converting that date into a number when inserted into the text string formula. How do I convert it back to a date?
 

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
Hi & welcome to MrExcel.
How about
Excel Formula:
="PROJECTED BALANCE AT "&TEXT(B19,"dd/mm/yyyy")
just change the format to suit
