I have a cell custom-formatted date mmyy to display month and year only when
a student is due to leave. I want a column in which the username is prefixed
by this 4-figure item as a string, but everything I've tried (concatenate
etc) always comes up with the name OK but prefixed by something like the
numerical equivalent of that date in the Excel Date/Time code.
