Default extract numbers, convert to date

I imported a comma delimined .txt file into Excel. One column is formated
(for example) 070794MEFKMAG. This is a person's birthday (mmddyy) and then
parts of their name. I want to extract the birthdate numbers, convert them to
a date and subtract that date from todays date. I've been able to extract the
numbers [=MID(A12,ROW($1:$9),6)] giving me 070794, but haven't been able to
convert them to any date that makes sense.

Any suggestions
