I have a daily report i disburse with a date at the top that is manually updated each day. I am trying to make it a formula so I can’t forget to update it before disbursing, I can do the =today()-1 to auto populate yesterdays date and when I try to set a custom format with ‘As of m/d/yyyy’ the s turns to a 0. Does anyone know why this happens or a work around ?

In the custom format, put “As of” in quotation marks so the characters are recognized as text and will display accordingly.

Or "Maybe in 6 months!"
