Hi everyone,

I receive data from an old database program like this:
19910224. I need to convert to a date format in order to use the datedif()
function.
The final product should be 24-Feb-1991 OR 1991-02-24 in date format.
Formatting like the latter example does not help. My "numbers" do not
convert to dates. All I achieve is 1991-02-24 and I can't use datedif.
Can anyone help.

TIA
