I am trying to concatenate a cell containing RC + Date + time in VB in excel but I am getting error that no sub or function has been defined.
I am new using macros

What I have tried:

VB

Private Sub Worksheet_change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Range("B:B")) Is Nothing Then
        Range("C" & Target.Row) = Format(Date, "DD.MM.YY")
        Range("D" & Target.Row) = Format(Date, "YYYY.MM")
        Range("F" & Target.Row) = Format(Now, "HHMMSS")
        Range("G" & Target.Row) = Format(Concatenate("RC", Format(Date, "DDMMYYY"), Format(Now, "HHMMSS")))
    End If
End Sub

If you are trying to use the Excel CONCATENATE function[^] here, then you can't - that is an "in cell" function, rather than a VB function.

So join strings, use the appropriate VB code directly - that will depend on the version of VB you are using: VB6, VB.NET, or VBA so Google for "concatenate strings" and the VB version and you should find what you need.
