one column on my excel spreadsheet will NOT format the date
The idea is not to have to enter the /
By using the format ##/##/## when I enter 6 numbers they came out the
numbers with the / in between them.
I have on previous spreadsheets been able to do this. But for some reason,
this sheet will not accept the format.
Confusing!

Couple of things...
First "##/##/##" is not an Excel date format. Try "mm/dd/yyyy" or
something similar.
Second 061405 is not the same as 06/14/2005. The former is 61405 days
from 1/1/1900 or 2/12/2068. Enter your date with the slash marks to
avoid confusing Excel.
