Hello,

In excel I have date spread across 3 cells; 1 with the day (A1), 1 with the month (A2) and 1 with the year (A3).
I want to put these 3 numbers into one cell as a date (A4).
A1 A2 A3 A4
15 11 09 15-11-09

I've looked at the "date and time" functions, but can't find anything.

Does anyone know a function or a VBA code that will solve my issue?

Hello,
Use the formula DATE(year,month,day) in your case, write this formula into A4: 
=DATE(C1,B1,A1)

and personalise your date format to have : dd-mm-yy

Hello Aquarelle,

Thanks for your answer, feel kind of stupid now, but I am glad that I can continue my work.

Best regards.

Hi,
Why stupid ? There are so many formulas in excel that it's difficult to know all of them.
Even if, I often use excel, I don't know all the formulas and sometime, like you, I need help and I post my request on a forum, waiting somebody replies. Certainly, some will find the request simple because they know but when we don't know it is not simple :)
This forum has been created to find these sort of help and to learn what we don't know. Do not hesitate to post a new thread if you need help for something else.
Best regards

Hi you can use " &" for eg A1,B1,C2 has your day month & year

Use =A1&"-"&B1&"-"&C1 ENTER.

In case you want "/" replace with -
