You can shorten your formula and save a couple of function calls by using
virtually the same string functions this way instead...

=TEXT(DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MID(A1,5,2),MID(A1,7,2)),"m/d/yy")&" at
"&MID(A1,13,2)&":"&RIGHT(A1,2)

However, this requires a separate cell to implement and I kind of get the
impression the OP wants to do the text parsing within the same cell (sort of
like a "custom format"). That, of course, would require a macro solution.

From a database some info is generated that reads "20070917 at 1900".
I need to be able to generate "9/17/07 at 19:00"

At first I was thinking I could use a macro to do this, but I have a
feeling
there is a much easier formula that can be generated to make the
conversion.

Any help will be much appreciated.
