Concatenate Question
Hi Heather
why don't you format the field to show the Name of the Day as well? Custom format would be: dddd mmmm d, yyyy or (if you want 3 letter months) dddd mmm d, yyyy i hope i understood you right Carlo On Jan 16, 1:37*pm, Learningfast wrote: HI My data is two values Day * * * * * * Monday Date * * * * * * * * *May 8, 2008 The new result it Concatenate #1 *Monday34567 (the result has no space and there is a number instead of the date).

Question: How do I program a space between the two and Question: How do I format the date as text so it looks like a date? May 8, 2008 is a Thursday. The general answer is =DayCell&TEXT(DateCell," mmmm d, yyyy") but if you actually want Thursday May 8, 2008 (i.e., the actual day of the week for the given date), ignore the Day cell and give the Date cell the custom number format dddd mmmm d, yyyy |

Concatenate Question
You need to get a basic book on Excel. Excel stores dates as numbers.
January 1, 1900 is day 1. January 2, 1900 is day 2, January 15, 2008 is day 39462. Just apply standard Excel date formatting to what you have. Such as a standard Excel date by right clicking the cell with the date, format cells, date, select 2nd entry and you will see Tuesday, January 15, 2008. Tyro "Learningfast" wrote in message ...

Concatenate Question
Don't bother to concatenate, just format Date as dddd mmmm d, yyyy
But, to answer your question on getting rid of the serial number and entering a space. =B1& " " &TEXT(C1,"mmmm d" &"," &"yyyy") with Monday in B1 and May 8, 2008 in C1 Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Tue, 15 Jan 2008 20:37:01 -0800, Learningfast wrote: HI My data is two values Day Monday Date May 8, 2008 The new result it Concatenate #1 Monday34567 (the result has no space and there is a number instead of the date).
