Combine day text and date problems

[mike]

Hi,

I have the day of the week in A1 and the date in A2 and I'm trying to
combine them in A3 so it's appear as "10/1/08 Wednesday" but when I apply
the formula it comes out as (please see below in results). How can I do it
so it'll come out the way i want?

A1: Wednesday
A2: 10/1/2008

Results: Wednesday 39722

I'm trying to combine them...so it's appear as "10/1/08 Wednesday"

One way:

=TEXT(A2,"m/d/yyyy dddd")

 

[Dave Peterson]

=a1&text(a2,"m/d/yyyy")
or
=a1&char(10)&text(a2,"m/d/yyyy")
(with wrap text checked)

Ignore this...

 

[T. Valko]

=TEXT(A2,"m/d/yyyy dddd")

so it's appear as "10/1/08 Wednesday"

Well, looks like I wasn't paying attention!

Try it like this:

=TEXT(A2,"m/d/yy dddd")

Result = 10/1/08 Wednesday

Ignore this...

OK

Go the long way around..

=month(A2)&"/"&day(A2)&"/"&year(A2)&" "&A1
