I would like to combine a text string with the date formula "=Today()" in a single cell such as:

="Transactions as of" Today()

When I use an "&" to contect the text string and the date formula, the results is the value of the date. How do I get the correct date format?

Thanks

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.

="Transactions as of "&TEXT(TODAY(),"mm/dd/yy")


Change the "mm/dd/yy" bit into one that you prefer.

Try

="Transactions as of " & TEXT(TODAY(),"dd/mm/yy")
