Default How do I enter a date typing 040906 and have it appear 04/09/06? I
You cannot format a cell to do this.

Chip Pearson's site has event code that will look after the change as you enter
the numbers.

I would like to format a cell so that I can just type in the numbers in a
date and have the cell display the date with the forward slashes added
automaticly! Example type in only 040906 and have Excel display 04/09/2006
in the cell.
