How can I change the serial number to date format?

[owenchan]

Dear all,

I have an expression of a cell like this:

="The list shown data before "&$A$1

and $A$1 contain "01/01/1991"

However, I got the result "The list shown data before 33239"

How can I change the serial number to date format?

thanks
