It’s
      back to the same old question;

In
      a
      calendar, how can I put the day’s date (number only) and week
      number and day-number-of-the-year in one cell?  Particularly in
      cell A5, B5...etc which are all cells that contain only the day
      number of the month.

Here’s
      a link to the Calc calendar template I’m trying to use-

https://extensions.libreoffice.org/templates/calendar-creator

The
      template is very useful and I don’t want to interfere or mess up
      the calendar creation- which it does perfectly.

Thank
      you,

My apologies for the messed up format.  Here's a better version;

It's back to the same old question; ...

Indeed so - and the answer is very much the same as on the previous two occasions you have asked this.

In a calendar, how can I put the day's date (number only) and week number and day-number-of-the-year in one cell?

To put multiple items in one cell, you must concatenate the individual values. You can do this using the CONCATENATE() function:
=CONCATENATE(<one>;<two>;<three>)
or probably more easily using the & operator:
=<one>&<two>&<three>
- where <one>, <two>, and <three> represent your items - references or formulae.

Note that you will have to take care of spacing, so you may need something like
=<one>&" "&<two>&" "&<three>
instead.

Note that concatenation - expressed either way - both requires and produces text items. If you pass it numeric values, these are converted to text automatically on the fly. If you want more control over exactly how a value is represented, you may want to do the conversion yourself, using the TEXT() function, which allows you to specify the format of the converted value. So if you wanted, say, all your dates to appear as two-digit numbers, so the first of the month was "01" instead of just "1", your formula might start
=TEXT(<one>;"00")&" "& ...

You'll have to puzzle out how to derive formulae for the required two new values for yourself, unless the answers are buried somewhere in the existing template. The functions WEEKNUM(), WEEKNUMADD(), and DAYS() may help. You can read the existing formulae in your template by selecting relevant cells and looking in the Input Line for each, of course.

I trust this helps.

        formula;=$G30-$H30+$D32+$E32+COLUMN(A5)That stuff points to various parts of the spreadsheet and
        returns the correct numeric day number of the month.When I try to concat it with, say, =DAYS then Err:510 appears in
        the cell.  Any variation of the data produces a similar error.=$G30-$H30+$D32+$E32+COLUMN(A5)"   
        "=DAYS(A5,$January.A5)+1I've successfully used concat or =text...etc as you suggested
        and placed the formula in other blank cells in an unused portion
        of the spreadsheet and have obtained the desired result.  But
        for simplicity it would be best to have the formula and result
        in the correct cell.Any ideas?Thank you,Carl

=Not fully clear on what you want, but this is what I did in a little test.

Did this withmono font, but list might change things so they don't line up,
but sould be easy to figure out.

DateMonthDay60;WeekdayJulianweek of year01/01/1811=Monday1;1
01/02/1812=Tuesday20;101/03/1813=Wednesday360;1

The first date was in A15, and A16 was just A15+1Column B just had =month(A15) to get Month
Column C just had =day(A15) to get day
Column D to get day of Week
=INDEX($J$1:$J$7,WEEKDAY(A15))
$J$1:$J$7 have Sunday thru Saturday
Column E to calculate the Julian Day of Year
=A15-DATE(YEAR(A15),1,1)+1
Column F to get week of year
=INT(E15/7)+1

One could just use the text command andto make whatever combination
one might want??

Did the dates all the way to 12/31,

Not sure why this mailing list screws up the text. Did it in a text editor, so
assumed it could handle it without screwing up the formating to much, but it
did?

DateMonthDayWeekdayJulianweek of year
01/01/1811Monday11
01/02/1812Tuesday21
01/03/1813Wednesday31

Seems it doesn't handle tabs, so changed them to blanks.
Some other stuff got thrown in there that didn't exist in the text??

#7

Again, it stripped all the spaced?? So, there it is with spaces changed to .

Date.......Month.....Day.....Weekday.....Julian.....week.of.year
01/01/18...1.........1.......Monday.......1...........1
01/02/18...1.........2.......Tuesday......2...........1
01/03/18...1.........3.......Wednesday....3...........1

#8

Solved the problem.

All I had to do was the following;

Format the selected calendar cell as follows;

DD     (then a bunch of spaces)  WW

The result returned was the correct calendar date number and the current
week of the year.

Now all I have to figure out is how the get the day-number-of-the-year
in there.

Thank you, all, for your efforts.

Existing cell (for the month of February) has the following formula;
=$G30-$H30+$D32+$E32+COLUMN(A5)

That stuff points to various parts of the spreadsheet and returns the correct numeric day number of the month. When I try to concat it with, say, =DAYS then Err:510 appears in the cell.

I'm not surprised: you concatenate references or expressions in a formula, not multiple formulae. What's that extra equals sign doing there? That's like writing =A1+=B2 instead of =A1+B2.

Any ideas?

Yes: excise that superfluous equals sign.
