Formatting text and date together

How can I format a cell to hold text ("Last update:") and a date whic
is obtained from another cell? The Formula reads something like +"Las
update: "&f2. The date comes out as its numerical value.

Is it possible.

Thank

Use the text function to format the numeric component to suit your needs,
along the lines of ="Last Updated on " & TEXT(A1,"Mmm dd")

use ="Last Update: " & Text(F2,"mm/dd/yyyy")

The "+" that you are currently using is the old Lotus 1-2-3
method; loose it!
