Concatenating Excel Cells Containing Dates And Text .

Solution:
Suppose you'd like to combine two Excel cells. Let's say that cell A1 contains the text "Today's Date is," and cell D1 contains the date 12/31/01. Go to cell A4 and enter
=a1&d1
then press Enter. What you'll get in cell A4 is "Today's Date is 37250."

To concatenate a text cell and a date cell, you first have to convert the date to text. So go to cell A4 and type
=a1&text(d1,"mm/dd/yy")
then press Enter. Now cell A4 will display "Today's Date is 12/31/01."
