Default Excel function to convert month-day-year to mm/dd/yyyy

Hi,

assuming the following
A1 January
B1 28
C1 2008

Try

=DATEVALUE(B1&A1&C1)

If you put this in d1 and double click the fill handle it will fill down as
far as there are data in column C

I have an excel formula question. I need to do the following and I am unsure
how to do it. I have three columns that represent a birthday, in column one
I have the month spelled out, in column two I have the date of birth and in
the third column I have the year. In the forth column that I will create, I
need to have the date of birth together as such mm/dd/yyyy. Unfortunately
there are thousands of entries this way and I want to find one simple
function that can convert these entries into one item. If you have the
solution please let me know. Thank you so much.
