Default concatenate a date and a # ID

I have two columns which I have to make into 1 for a chart label in order to
get the formatting of the two in the same direction.

How can I concatenate (or ???) a date and a Text string into a single label?

thanks

Let's say your date is in A1 and the text is in A2

=text(A1,"mm-dd-yy")&" - "&A2

This returns "05-01-07 - whatever is in your text string"
