Hi,

I am wanting to combine 2 cells, so C5 (28/02/19) and D5 (1) together but when i do it i get the following.

435241

I am doing the formula of =C5&D5 to get this what else should i be doing?

I am wanting the outcome of 28/02/191 or even 2802191 would be fine.

thanks
 

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
