Date Format

[DaveMoore]

A date has been entered in cell E4, 31/03/2010 but has been formatted
so as to display as MAR-10. That's okay, that's what I want.
I now wish to refer to that cell at B12 using the following -
="Closing Balance at "&E4
However, this displays as Closing Balance at 40268
I think I have to format the date reference 40268 within my formula in
B12 but do not have a clue how to do that.
The format I want to display is 31-MAR-2010
Can anybody advise?
Many Thanks,
Dave Moore

Try it like this...

="Closing Balance at "&TEXT(E4,"mmm-yy")
