Is there any way I can generate a date in one cell, from 3 other separate

'01'
in A1, 'September' in A2 and '2009' in A3, then in B1 it shows
'01/09/2009'.

I assume the apostrophes (single quotes) are not really in the cell. And I
assume you want the date value (number) 1/9/2009, not text. Try:

=--(A1&A2&A3)

formatted as Date or the custom format mm/dd/yyyy, depending on Regional and
Language settings.

On the off-chance that you want the text "01/09/2009", try:

=text(A1&A2&A3, "mm/dd/yyyy")


Alternatively, is there a way I can generate the month from the date - so
if
you enter (for example) '01/09/2009' in A1, it shows 'September' in B1?

=text(A1, "mmmm")
