Default Keeping the format of a date

Hi Louise

Try
=A1&" "&B1&" "&TEXT(C1,"dd/mm/yy")

Good morning

I have a worksheet with data in column A, column B and a date in
column C.

In column D, I have to enter a formula which will automatically enter
all
the information from the cells in A, B and C into one cell. For
instance, A1
could contain Fred, B1 could contain Jones and C1 could contain
09/10/06.
Therefore, in cell D1 I need it to say 'Fred Jones 09/10/06'.

I can create the formula and it does work, however, it doesn't keep
the
formatting of the date from column C and simply converts it into a
number so
it doesn't make sense when entered into D1.

Is there any way I can ask Excel to keep the format of the date??

Thank you.

Louise
