Join Formula with Dates - How to eliminate the time stamp?

I am using the join formula to combine the task name, start date, and end date into a single column that will be used for reporting purposes. The start and end dates are formatted to only show the date, not a time, however when I use the join formula, it's giving me 'Task Name -- ##/##/## 8:00 AM - ##/##/## 4:59 PM" and I cannot figure out how to get it to stop spitting out that time. Syntax I'm using "=JOIN([Task Name]30:[End Date]30, " - ")"

Hi Carly,
You could use the following formula to join without populating a timestamp:
=[Task Name]@row + " - " + [Start Date]@row + " - " + [End Date]@row

I hope you're well and safe!
Because you're using the Dependencies feature, you must use something like the one below.
=[Task Name]@row + " - " + DATEONLY([Start Date]@row) + " - " + DATEONLY([End Date]@row)
Did that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!
