Not sure of your meaning.. "concatenate" means to join two strings end-to-end. so, your first line becomes: 0-Jan-000-Jan-000-Jan-0029-Nov-080-Jan-000-Jan-00
THAT is the meaning of "concatenation". At first glance, it looks like you're trying to find the maximum (or latest) date. However, in your example, line 10 has a 8-Jun-08 in the second column, and 9-feb-08 is in column 5. yet your "final" date is 9-feb... If this is just a fluke.. then here's what I'd do: Note: In Excel, there is no such thing as a "date". it's really a number, the number of days since 1/1/1900. 39781 days since 1/1/1900 is November 29, 2008. so Excel DISPLAYS the number as a date. it doesn't mean that the number IS a date, it is just SHOWN as a date. (and TIME? is really just the fractional part of a day. 39781.3706712963 is November 29, 2008 at 8:53:46AM) The reason that this is important is that if you want to find the most recent date, you really just need to look for the largest number. try: =MAX(A2:G2) in row 2 and copy it down. be sure to change the cell formatting to Date format. Is this what you were trying to do?
