Default Converting to Dates

Can you post a few more examples, showing what happens when you have
dates for September or earlier (single-digit month). Do you get a
leading zero in these cases, like:

10907 for 1st September 2007, 100907 for 10th September 2007?

If you don't, then couldn't your second example be interpreted as 11th
January 2007?

Hi there,

I have inherited a worksheet whereby dates have been recorded in the
following way:

311007 for 31st October 2007
11107 for 1st November 2007 etc.

I now need to convert these cells into a date format so I can sort the
data and perform calculations. I'd be grateful for any suggestions on
how I can do this.
