I have a formula in Excel that concatenates text with a date from another cell and the date is showing up as 39264 rather than July 1, 2007.

Is there a way within an Excel formula to get the desired format of July 1, 2007?

i.e. ...

Date Range of July 1, 2007 to July 31, 2007

Rather than...

Date Range of 39264 to ...

Thanks!
 
="Date Range of " & Text(A1,"MMMM D, YYYY") & " to " & Text(B1,"MMMM D, YYYY")
