I am trying to include a dynamic title for a chart with a date field included (which is in another cell), but the date is converting to a number format instead of staying as a Date.
EG, my formula is ="Age Profile of Current Clients as at "&$B$1
Field $B$1 = 23/8/2016.
but the title now shows as Age Profile of Current Clients as at 42605.
Can anyone advise me on how to covert the date field in a dynamic title to reflect a date field, and not a number field?
thanks

Hi Susan,
You need to wrap your date in the TEXT Function.
e.g. ="Age Profile of Current Clients as at "&TEXT($B$1,"dd/mm/yyyy")
