Concatenate
 

Why can't I concatenate 2 cells with numbers that are formated as text?

Concatenate
 

What occurs when you try?

Show us a formula.

Do you see the formula and not the result?

Format the cell as General and re-enter the formula.

Uncheck "View Formula" mode.

Stick with your original thread.

Concatenate
 

You can...
=CONCATENATE(A1,A2)
with numbers in A1 and A2 which are formatted as TEXT.

Why do you say you can't?

Of course you will get a text and not a number...
If you want a number then use
=CONCATENATE(A1,A2)*1
