    Lightbulb trying to create product control numbers using item number, month, year and alpha criteria

    I have been away from Excel for a while and now I need to create a formula to capture an item number, two digit month, two digit year and an alpha code i.e.

    item #: 0001
    month: 05
    year: 13
    alpha code: CS

    code result should be 00010513CS

    item #: 0002
    month: 06
    year: 13
    alpha code: GC

    code result should be 00020613GC

    And so on. Does anyone know how to achieve this?

    is the item #, month, year and code all in one cell or 4 rows?

    how is your data layed out, are the Item #, Month Year and Alpha Code column headers or are they row labels?

    i attached a sample solution that has a few variations of the data

    I see that you're sample solution works but for some reason it doesn't in my spreadsheet so I've attached a sample of what I'm doing so you can see it directly.

    I greatly appreciate your assistance!
