Default Need to combine dates stored in seperate columns
Ok. Assume A1 has 125, and B1 has 2007
=DATE(B1,LEFT(A1,2),RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-2))

How is it supposed to know it is 12/5/2007 instead of 1/25/2007?

I have data that has the month and day together in one column ex. 125
and in the other is the year 2007

How do I get the date to be 12/5/2007?
