    Concatenate Colums A, B and C into D, but B is a Date and A and C are String values

    Hello! Please could anyone help me find either a VBA code to concatenate or if not a Formula to achieve this in the desired format:

    I have 3 columns, A, B and C. I want to concatenate all three values into Column D. The problem is that A and C are String, and B is a date, so when concatenated, the D column changes the date to a number value instead of keeping the date dd/mm/yyyy. I have tried changing the formats of the cell several times/different combinations but doesn't work.

    For example:

    Desired result in D1:
    A1 B1 C1 D1
    CAT 30/01/2014 Dog CAT30/01/2014dog

    What I actually get:
    A1 B1 C1 D1
    CAT 30/01/2014 Dog CAT41669Dog




    Thank you in advance for any help

    Maybe like this:

    =A1&TEXT(B1,"dd/mm/yyyy")&C1
