Converting date to text
I would like to create a unique ID by combining Name & birthday.
For : Abc Def birthday 1/1/08 I would like it to read ADef010108. I can get everything in, except the date is always formated into serial number. is there anything i can do to make it the way i want it? Thank you. |

Use
Text(A1,"mmddyy") in your formula like =B1&Text(A1,"mmddyy") if A1 has date and B1 has ADef "ac" wrote: I would like to create a unique ID by combining Name & birthday.

Assuming:
A1: holds Abc Def B1: holds Date =LEFT(A1)&MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,99)&TEXT(B1,"mmddyy") "ac" wrote: I would like to create a unique ID by combining Name & birthday.
