All,
I have the following formula that calculates the beginning of the month and the end of the month with a dash in between for invoicing purposes:

Excel Formula:
=CONCATENATE(EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1)+1,"-",EOMONTH(TODAY(),0))

This works and gives me the correct results in this format:
44105-44135

I want to be able to put this in the "mm/dd/yyyy" format but I can't since it also has text in it. Is there a way to print the dates with the dash in the middle after the beginning of the month and end of the month is calculated?

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
like this?

="1 - "&DAY(EOMONTH(TODAY(),0))
