Combine month day and year from separate columns in to one cell
I have the month (October), day (3), and year (2005) contained in three
cells. I want to combine them into one cell where I can have the date as 10/3/2005. I have been unsuccessful using concatenate because I cannot change the format of the finished project from 10/3/2005 to Oct-3,2005 etc.... I need to perform this so that I can calculate the days between the specified date and a start date. |

Combine month day and year from separate columns in to one cell
With
A1: (a month name....eg October) B1: (a day of the month...eg 3 C1: (a year......eg 2005) This formula returns a data based on those inputs: D1: =--(B1&"-"&A1&"-"&C1) Format D1 as a date. In the above example, D1 returns 10/03/2005. Is that something you can work with? Post back if you have more questions. -------------------------- Regards, Ron Microsoft MVP (Excel) (XL2003, Win XP) "Thanks, JH" <Thanks, wrote in message ...
