I am using the concatenate function, however my date field, instead of maintaining its 08/07/07 state, changes to the annoying 5 digit 33935 number.
Even if I cut and paste it as special / values, it stays as the 5 digit number. Can this be avoided somehow?
I have two cells. Cell A1 contains ‘The date is ’ cell B1 is formatted in the date format, 2007-01-24. I need to concatenate these two cells so that on cell C1 I have ‘The date is 2007-01-24’ but whatever I try excel keeps on changing the date to a text value and hence I am left with: ‘The date is ‘This is the date'39141 or this is the date 39141. how to get to the result that I am after?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem getting the date to show up when I add the date as a referenced cell to a formula using CONCATENATE. The date shows up as a serial value instead of a date format. The formula that I'm trying to get to work is in cell J7 on the attached file.

I keep getting the N/A error on this.
when i concatenate two cells (the word "excel" and today's date), i get
excel 39183...? i would like: excel 4/11/2007
how can i merge Date 1 and Time 1 into a cell ? And give me mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm format? And then a subtraction on 9/3/2008 0:00:40 - 9/2/200823:31:25, which give me a hh:mm:ss result?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhat i need is to be able to concatenate a field such that it includes current system year,month,day and time. My attached spreadsheet illustrates my current formatting to achieve year,month,day. But I seem to be challenged in getting the current time to display properly.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to concatinate a cell to show both text and date (in format mmmm dd yyyy) using a vlookup from another worksheet.
Below is the coding I have in the cell:
="High Importance Request - effective " & VLOOKUP(1,'Fuel Surcharge Key Dates'!$A$6:$E$65536,2,FALSE)
The result I get in the cell from the formula is: I still get it to come out to 39327 instead of June 4 2007
The vlookup in the formula above retrieves a date that has a cell custom formatted to mmmm d, yyyy ... as this cell is not a date that is entered by a user but is further retrieved by another vlookup of dates. Even if I place the VLOOKUP in cell A3, reformat that cell to be a date and change the coding in the formula to:
="High Importance Request - effective " & A3. I still get it to come out to 39327 instead of June 4 2007
Say in L4 on form test i want to look for the value of A4 in Drill data range a2 to z1000 and retun a concatenated string of something like "sav 407 : 08-may to 11-may"
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have attached a spreadsheet illustrating my query.
I would like to run a sub procedure called generatedataset then I'd like to enter a date from column J (starting from J4) into G12 ( cell G12 is a named range called effective_date). Then enter the concatenation of the adjacent cells K4 and L4 and place this into cell G9 (cell G9 is a named range called dataset_name). Then call the procedure again. Repeating for all values in range starting at J4 extending down, and for all corresponding concatenated values in K and L.
Data would always be taken from columns J or K&L and placed in the same cells ie G12 (named range effective_date) and G9 (named range dataset_name) respectively.
I have the following formula:
=CONCATENATE("EXP: ",TEXT(AK2," MM/DD/YY")," ","VP DATE ",TEXT(AL2," MM/DD/YY"))
But if both cells are empty I get : EXP: VP DATE
If only one is empty, i get EXP: 08/26/19 VP DATE or EXP: VP DATE 06/27/14
But I do not want EXP: or VP Date text to show if the content of the AK# or AL# is empty. I figured I will place something like If(ak#="","",
But it give me a "Too many arguments" error.

I have 2,000+ cells containing text that I need to break out into multiple cells. They are names (ex. John M Smith MD) and I need each part of the name in it's own column. I need the opposite of concatenate.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm having a rather difficult time getting this one.
I am concatenating (is that a verb?) a bunch of cells to create an item code.
The combination of two different cells need to be able to give different values so I can dump the appropriate value into the CONCATENATE formula.
A picture is worth a thousand..
I am trying to get 2 rows in one drop down without having to create another combined row. im not sure what formula should i use. I have attached an example.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI want to write formula in cells(many cells!) using concatenate. The desired output:
In Sheet2!D1 - i will write concatenate of Sheet1!C6 and Sheet1F6
in Sheet2!E1 - i will write concatenate of Sheet1!C7 and Sheet1F7
in Sheet2!F1 - i will write concatenate of Sheet1!C8 and Sheet1F
Copy and paste formula would not do so i created a macro stated below. The problem is a can not change the ActiveCell.Formula correction.
I have a simple task and I use the concatenate formula to resolve alot of keystrokes. I now have an issue where I have to edit that formula because of a additional character for the string won't upload into a database. Here's my example:
1. Cell A1= 12345xxxx Cell B1= 67 Cell C1= 8
I use =CONCATENATE(A1,"-000"&B1,"-000"&C1) and my result is displayed in D1= 12345xxxx-00067-0008
Easy enough! Now adding the following is the problem:
1. Cell A2= 12345 Cell B2= 67 Cell C2= 89
I use =CONCATENATE(A2,"-000"&B2,"-000"&C2) and my result is displayed in D2= 12345xxxx-00067-00089
Now D2 has one too many characters from C2
I modify the formula by reducing to "-000"&C2 to be "-00"&C2 manually but now the line items have quadrupled and manually isn't going to work for this being so time consuming.
Is there a way to use a variable with the concatenate or am I using the wrong formula period ??
A1 contains "=2+3+4" which shows 8 as a result. I would like to add a word "Lbs" with it so it would display "8 Lbs" on the same cell. If I entered =1+2+3 on cell A6000, it should give me "6 Lbs".
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use a macro to write a formula within a column of data.
Here's the
i trying to merge column A1 (ABC) with column B1(XYZ), B2(LOL), B3(ROF) ..etc
with a simple =CONCATENATE(A1,"-",B1) , i can get "ABC-XYZ" , but when come to column B2 , i only can get "-LOL" , any solution ?
Create a column of concatenated values to serve as a "primary key" for a compare and merge tool (Synkronizer). For some reason, the CONCATENATE function isn't being recognized.
If I enter
=CONCATENATE(A2,B2)
instead of showing the strings located in A2 and B2 it displays
=CONCATENATE(A2,B2)
in the cell.
I tried creating a new spreadsheet and it works just fine. Does anyone have an idea of what might be happening? I have compared all of the options between the two spreadsheets and don't see any difference in them.
I have 6 columns:
A1 = LastName
B1 = FirstName
C1 = LastName2
D1 = FirstName2
I need to concatenate into 1 cell so it looks like this: FirstName LastName;FirstName2 Last Name2. Now the challenge is that there are many instances where C1 and D1 are blank (don't have values).
So here was my attempt at a formula:
=IF(A1>""&B1>"",CONCATENATE(B1," ",A1))& IF(C1>""&D1>"",CONCATENATE(";"&D1,"",C1),"")
Now this works, but it ALWAYS leaves a semi colon at the end (even when there is no C1 and D1 to concatentate. Thus I put in my IF statement the "".
What function can get me the first letter from the first name and the whole last name together and then add @email.com. Example: Hanry Jones = HJones@email.com
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have this code
Code:
Selection.FormulaR1C1Local = "=INDIRECT(CONCATENATE(""["",R4C26,""]Sheet1!"",RC))"
Which creates this in the excel cell:
=INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("[",$Z$4,"]Sheet1!",D4))
But for some reason, it returns a 0. However, when I change the code in the excel cell to this
=INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("[",$Z$4,"]Sheet1!D4"))
It works. But I need to be able to change D4 in the macro, so doing it that way won't work for me.
I have the below set of data for example,
aaabbbcccdddeeeaaabbbaaabbbcccaaa
I need the output as,
aaabbbcccdddeeeaaabbbaaabbbcccaaa
As we know, a simple concatenate will work. But my columns are not limited and not easily countable. In my real scenario for some of the rows, data exist from column "A" till column "IB". So, I need to first identify the column data exist in each row and then to implement the concatenate function.
