Add 0 before month 1 to 9?

[Cam]

Hello,

I am not sure how to use the formula or function that CONCATENATE two fields
based on a IF function.
If the month field is 1 to 9, then add 0 before the month, then concatenate
the year & month.
Example Data:
Year Month Concatenate Result
2007 3 2007, 03
2007 4 2007, 04
2008 12 2008, 12
2008 6 2008, 06
2009 10 2009, 10

insert a "helper" column by the month and make it =RIGHT("0" & B2,2) and that
will pad the month.

=IF(LEN(B1)=1,A1&","&" "&0&B1,A1&","&" "&B1)

hope this helps.

If the Year is in column A and the Month is in column B, try in column C:

=A2&", "&IF(B2<10,"0"&B2,B2)

Hope this helps,

another way to do it as

just select the cells, and go to format, custom and type 00, press ok
that should work too.

try

=A2&", "&RIGHT("0" &B2,2)

=a2&", "&text(b2,"00")
or
=text(date(A2,B2,1),"yyyy, mm")

Another possibility
In C2 copied down
=IF(B2>9,A2 & ", " & B2,A2 & ", " & "0" & B2)
