Concatenating date with a string in Excel

Question

I have two cells in Excel. one has a string and the other one has a date. in the third cell I want to put the date and the string together. For example:

A1          


        

Answer 1

You can do it this simple way :

A1 = Mahi
A2 = NULL(blank)

Select A2 Right click on cell --> Format cells --> change to TEXT

Then put the date in A2 (A2 =31/07/1990)

Then concatenate it will work. No need of any formulae.

=CONCATENATE(A1,A2)

mahi31/07/1990

(This works on the empty cells ie.,Before entering the DATE value to cell you need to make it as TEXT).
