Can you provide samples of the data you're trying to concatenate, and show
how you'd like the result to display?

I am attempting to use the concatenate function to combine some text with
dates from two different cells. However, the result gives me the serial
number associated w/ the date as opposed to the format "October 16, 2008".
The cell is formatted as a date. I am using Excel 2003 in XP. Thank you in
advance for your assistance.
