Answer:
In its pure essence, TEXT in Excel is used to convert a numeric value to a text string in a specific format.
The syntax for the Excel TEXT function is as follows:
TEXT(value, format_text)
Where:
Value - the numeric value to be converted to text. It can be a number, date, reference to a cell containing a numeric value or another function that returns a number or date.
Format_text - the format that you want to apply. It is supplied in the form of a format code enclosed in the quotation marks, e.g. "mm/dd/yy".
The TEXT function is available in all versions of Excel 2016, Excel 2013, Excel 2010, Excel 2007, Excel 2003, and lower.
Generally, an Excel TEXT formula is used in the following situations:
To display numbers in a more readable way or in a format that makes more sense for your users.
To display dates in a specific format.
To combine numbers or dates with certain text or characters.
For example, if you want to pull the date from cell A2 and show it in another cell in the traditional date format like "January 1, 2016", you use the following Excel TEXT formula:
=TEXT(A2, "mmmm d, yyyy")
The result will look similar to this:
