    Combining two columns and modifying the data in one formula?

    Hi everyone,

    Please see attached Test File for better clarity on what I am looking to do.
    Join Column A & B but modify the data. Column A contains a date range and I would like to modify the data to reflect just the MM and DD preceded with the letter B and a colon such as this. "B:"
    Column B has a value in it that needs the letter S and a colon such as. "S:"

    Is this possible?

    Thanks for your help.

    Or, since you have O365, use a dynamic array:

    ="B:"&TEXT(A2:A18,"mmdd")&" S:"&B2:B18
