Convert Text Entry to Date Format
Hello
We were sent a large spreadsheet with hundreds of dates entered as text in
this format: 04151985. Each entry has the green triangle in the upper left
corner of the cells designating the data as text.
We need to change the format to 04/15/1985.
I have tried DateValue with no luck. I get a "#value" error
I have also tried converting the text to a number first and then formating
as a date using "format/cells" but I only get a string of pound signs ####.
Please help.
Thanks
