Hi,

I am trying to show in A1: "Last Updated: *Today's Date*" however when I do the following

="Last Updated: "&today()

I get "Last Updated: 44706" where as I was hoping to get "Last Updated: 5/25/2022". Any ideas? Thanks!!
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
How about
Excel Formula:
="Last Updated: "&TEXT(today(),"m/dd/yyyy")
