Default Combine day text and date problems

=TEXT(A2,"m/d/yyyy dddd")
so it's appear as "10/1/08 Wednesday"


Well, looks like I wasn't paying attention!

Try it like this:

=TEXT(A2,"m/d/yy dddd")

Result = 10/1/08 Wednesday

combine them in A3 so it's appear as "10/1/08 Wednesday" but when I
apply

it
so it'll come out the way i want?

A1: Wednesday
A2: 10/1/2008
