Thank you Sir!

I was missing DateSerial function. I am googling it as we speak.

With Range("A1")

Range("B1").Value = Format(DateSerial(Left(.Value, 4), Mid(.Value, 5,
2), Mid(.Value, 7, 2)) - 6, "YYYYMMDD")

End With

Hello,

I am trying to duplicate the following formula as a macro in vb:
B1=TEXT((MID(A1|1|4) & "/" & MID(A1|5|2) & "/" & MID(A1|7|2))-6|"YYYYMMDD")

I have following data in A:
20080101
20080102
...
20080131

I would like to then subtract 6 'days' from those values so that we have
this in B:
20071226
20071227
...
20080125

I've tried using the Format() function but it not displaying correctly.

Thank you
