Two possibles...

Just add a custom format. Right click the date and select Format Cells -
Number tab - Custom and change the format to ddmmyy

Or use the formula
=text(a1, "ddmmyy")
where your date is in A1.

Perhaps

=TEXT(A1,"mmddyy")

=TEXT("02/11/09","mmddyyyy")

If the date is in A1 then use this in any other cell
=Text(a1,"mmddyyyy")

Hi,

Take a look here at Chip Pearson's site
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/jdates.htm

I think that should do what you want.

No, Martin.
That page is about Julian dates, which wasn't what the OP asked for.
