Hello -

I'm trying to calculate headers for a workbook, where we have a new header by date. The headers would be named "Key Accomplishments: 11/25/18"... "Key Accomplishments: 12/09/18", etc.

Right now my formula is: =LEFT($O$1,20) &" " & RIGHT(O1,10)+14 which returns: Key Accomplishments: 43444. How do I make the 43444 return as a date value?

Thanks,
M

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
Hi,

Your formula (unless it's a typo), will error out for your given sample.

=LEFT($O$1,20) &" " & RIGHT(O1,10)+14

Try this:
