Date reverts to numeric format
 

I have a date in this format May 1, 2009. Id like to keep it in that format,
but when I concaternate it with another cell, the date converts to a numeric
format. How can I prevent this?

Try the below
=TEXT(A1,"mmm d, yyyy")

=TEXT(A1,"mmm d, yyyy") & A2

=TEXT(A1,"mmm d, yyyy")&" the text to which you want it concatenated"
or
=TEXT(A1,"mmmm d, yyyy")&" the text to which you want it concatenated"
