No, but you can convert it with a formula.
=DATE(LEFT(A2,4),MID(A2,5,2),RIGHT(A2,2)) Format as desired. -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "Pimamedic" wrote: How do I convert 20090228 to read as 02/28/2009 is there a format to do this?? TY |

One cell?
You could use a formula: =--text(a1,"0000\/00\/00") and give that cell a nice date format. If you had a column of these cells to convert... Select the column Data|text to columns (xl2003 menus) fixed width (remove any lines that excel guessed) choose date ymd as the formatt and finish up And give the selected range a nice date format.

If it were 4 hours (60 minutes times 4), you could put 1440 in an empty cell
(1440 = number of minutes in a day (24*60)) copy that cell select the range to fix Edit|paste special|choose divide and values And then format the cell with a nice time format like: hh:mm:ss Pimamedic wrote: TY TY TY Now how do I convert 240 to time format which in this case woudl be 3 hours "Mike H" wrote: hi, And Another select the date(s) in a column then Data|Text to columns - Next - Next - Select Date - YMD Finish Mike "Pimamedic" wrote: How do I convert 20090228 to read as 02/28/2009 is there a format to do this??
