Default Concatenation of Text


Hello, could someone please help me with a formula or macro to
concatenate columns Q and R and put the results into column S?

I am using Excel 2003 and have 4-digit numbers in column Q that are
formatted as Text. I also have 9-digit numbers in column R that are
formatted as Text. I need to concatenate the numbers so that they form
a 13-digit number in column S.

Once this is achieved, I need to format these 13-digit numbers in
####-##-###-#### format.

Example:

Column Q: 5830
Column R: 019640028

Column S: 5830019640028

After formatting: 5830-01-964-0028

The data starts at Q2 and R2 respectively.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Chris.
