    Concatenation changes date format to a number Excel 2010

    Hi all - I am concatenating three cells in Excel, (two text, and last one a date) and the concatenation works but is converting the date value into a number. How do we keep it as a date format? Thanks

    Fill handle without breaking formatting

    Hi all - when you drag down the fill handle to auto-fill a formula down a column, it also drags out the formatting of the cells in those columns and you have to go back and re-do them which can be a pain. Is there a way to fill only NUMBERS and not cell formatting too? Thanks mucho.

    "Refresh" a pivot table with changed data?

    Hi T.T. I have been frustrated with the apparent property of pivot tables (Excel 2010) that the data within them does not change when the numbers in the table they are taken from changes. It's as if the data in the pivot tables are no longer connected to the data they are created from. Is there...
