Error: Incorrect parameter type for operator '&'. Expected Text, received Date

Hi,
I am trying to create a formula field that concatenates a text field and a date field. Is there anyway around this?

Status__c &" - "& StatusActionDate__c


Thanks,
Alex

Are you trying to have the formula return a text value? If so, try

Status__c &"-"& TEXT(StatusActionDate__c)
