Convert number to date
 

I am importing data from an AS400 program and my dates are formated as 10107
for January 1, and would be 110107 for November 1. Can anyone help me figure
out out to convert to 1/01/07 and 11/01/07?

select date and make sure it is MDY, then click finish

Certainly there must be another way, but here's one way. Format your cells
as Date and the desired format.

=(LEFT(LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-2),LEN(LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-2))-2)&"/"&RIGHT(LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-2),2)&"/"&RIGHT(A1,2))+0

If you need a genuine date then:

=DATE(RIGHT(A1,2)+2000,INT(A1/10000),RIGHT(INT(A1/100),2))
