Dates that need to be split into Year/MM/DD
I have a long list of dates in a column that are YYYYMMDD without any / or -
to break up the year, month,day How do I insert these breaks automatically? Cell formating by date doesn't give me the the correct format. Thanks |

Dates that need to be split into Year/MM/DD
Hi Eqa
Select the column, and go DataTextToColumns. Hit Next, Next and on the third screen, on the right hand side, choose a Date Format of YMD and click Finish. Hopefully this will correctly convert them. An alternative formula approach would be: =TEXT(A1,"0000-00-00")+0 copied down, but TextToColumns is easier. Hope this helps!
