Almost. Excel is interpreting "04" as 1904. Try:

=DATE("20"&LEFT(A13,2),MID(A13,3,2),RIGHT(A13,2))

Good for dates 2000 and after.

I want to convert a number i.e. 041006 into a date,
having
formatted the new cell as date: dd/mm/yyy. When I use
the formula =DATE(left(D13,2),MID(D13,3,2),right(D13,2)
I get the date 06/10/1904, when it should be 06/10/2004.
Any suggestions please
.
