How do you make a Date as a Display Name in a Numbered list? I added a formula into my list properties with the format set as Date and the formula referencing the numbered list and the Date field. It pulled in the number properly to the Display Name. However, the new item created in the list is still a random number and not a date. 

 

If I concatenate the date to a number, like : DAY(Date) + MONTH(Date) + YEAR(Date)

 

It adds up the numbers into one item. I need it in a number or a text for it to be a display name. 

Please help! 

 

Thank you

    Hi, 

     

    The display name will not let you select a date as an option in settings. It must be text. Is there a workaround like concatenating the date or something that would allow it to appear as text for the display name?
