Hi Jo Anna

With your value in A1, try
=DATE(--LEFT(A1,4),--MID(A1,5,2),--(RIGHT(A1,2)))

What you have is not a Julian date, that is why the formula on Chip's
site does not work

This formula did not work. I have a date of 20050609 for June 9,
2005 but
when I put in the formula it gave me this date: 8/31/2021

How do you convert a Julian date with a 4 digit year into a
standard
calendar
date?
