How do a format a cell reference (date format) that is a part of a text string in Excel.

Ex. ="as of "&A1 Cell A1 contains a date.
 
Try Format + Cells + Custom and type the following

"as of "dd/mm/yyyy

Hope this is what you mean

One more way that'll keep that cell as a date, but make it look like what you
want:

Format|Cells|number tab|custom
"As of "mm/dd/yyyy

You could even format A1 that way and maybe not use that other cell.
