Default date Concatenation

Thanks for your assistance but now sorted
:-)
ESTIMATE 08,Apr 2010
=T20&" "&TEXT(U20,"dd,MMM yyyy")

That's because the CONCATENATE formula joins two text strings together.
The result you are getting is converting the date 10/09/2009 (UK) into text.
Perhaps you should approach from another angle.
What are you trying to achieve? Why do you need to join these two cells in
this way?
