hi
try a formula.
=MID(B6,5,2)&"/"&RIGHT(B6,2)&"/"&LEFT(B6,4)
worked for me.
put the formula in a blank formula and copy down.
then copy the helper column and paste special values.

regards

I tried to record and run a macro to insert "/" between year and month
and between month and date,then clicking "Enter" button...But,it
displays same date in all the cells in which I run the macro.
