Excel Concatenate Text and Dates with the TEXT function

preview_player
Показать описание
CONCATENATE function is a popular text function in Excel. Another widely used function is the TEXT function. In this video, we look at joining text with dates. The problem with joining text and dates is the dates come over not as a date format. For example, joining the employee ID 2025, with the date November 7, 2022, will display as 202544872. What we may want to see is 2025/11-07-2022 or 2025/2022-11-07. The Text function allows us to format the date correctly. We will also look at filtering data and building a PivotTable with our helper column.
