How do you combine a date cell with a time cell to create a single date and time cell?

example:
A B C
1 03/04/02 | 08:15 | 03/04/02 08:15 |
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.

Simply adding the 2 together should do the trick!

Try formatting your result cell as

mm/dd/yy hh:mm

Also, make sure cell C1 =A1 + B1 rather than A1 & B1.

That's how I'm entering it. Here is the exact cell contents:
2/19/02 7:25

the results are 4/24/04 7:25

One thing I didn't tell you was that the data was imported from an AS/400. When I enter the dates manually, adding the two fields works.
