Keeping the format of a date
Good morning
I have a worksheet with data in column A, column B and a date in column C. In column D, I have to enter a formula which will automatically enter all the information from the cells in A, B and C into one cell. For instance, A1 could contain Fred, B1 could contain Jones and C1 could contain 09/10/06. Therefore, in cell D1 I need it to say 'Fred Jones 09/10/06'. I can create the formula and it does work, however, it doesn't keep the formatting of the date from column C and simply converts it into a number so it doesn't make sense when entered into D1. Is there any way I can ask Excel to keep the format of the date?? Thank you. Louise |
