The content of the cell is not a number representing a date. It cannot
therefore be formatted as a date. You could use LEFT, MID and RIGHT in
another cell to present the birthday as you want to see it
For example:
=MID(A1,5,2)&"/"&RIGHT(A1,2)&"/"&LEFT(A1,4)
or perhaps better:
=DATE(LEFT(A1,4),RIGHT(A1,2),MID(A1,5,2))
and format as a date however you want to see it.
Change the cell reference to suit

I currently have a birthday field displayed as 19891011. I would like this
to
be displayed as 10/11/1989. How do I do this?
