In other words,I want to take the day and month from column A (3101)and B (2410) and the first 4 letters from A (Main) to produce the invoice no D (31012401 Main) A B C D Site From To Invoice no. Main St 31-Jan-08 24-Oct-07 31012401 Main I would be most grateful for suggestions. thanks David |

Return a different date format
Trying to guess which columns you really intended, rather than what you said
below, and assuming that where you have 2401 twice you intended 2410, then perhaps try: =TEXT(B2,"ddmm")&TEXT(C2,"ddmm ")&LEFT(A2,4) -- David Biddulph wrote in message ...
