Assuming your date is in A1, put this in B1 or wherever........

=MID(A1,5,2)&"/"&RIGHT(A1,2)&"/"&LEFT(A1,4) will produce the display you
seek, but it will only be TEXT, not a actual date...........

=(MID(A1,5,2)&"/"&RIGHT(A1,2)&"/"&LEFT(A1,4))*1 will make it an actual Excel
Date/number which you can then format to look like what you want by doing
Right-click Format Cells Number tab Date and then select the format
of your choice.
