To combine the date in one cell and time in another cell in Excel, you can use the TEXT function in combination with the concatenation operator to create a new formula. Like this:

=TEXT(B1,"m/dd/yy ")&TEXT(C1,"hh:mm:ss")

You need to type this formula into a blank cell and then press Enter key in your keyboard, and drag the AutoFill Handle over other cells to apply this formula to combine date and time.

The First Text function will format the text string based on the date format provided in the second argument. And the second Text function will format the text string based on the time format provided in the second argument.

You can also directly use add operation to combine date and time values from the different cells into one single cell. Like this:

=B1 + C1

Type this formula into a blank cell, and then press Enter key.
