The more info you can give the easier it will be to assist.

I need to know the date of a movement for a report. The colomns contain over

That's because the CONCATENATE formula joins two text strings together.
The result you are getting is converting the date 10/09/2009 (UK) into text.
Perhaps you should approach from another angle.
