How do I convert 20091115 to date format in excel?
 

I have excel 2007 and run a query out of Oracle. The dates appear as
YYYYMMDD and I need for excel to recognize this as a date.

How do I convert 20091115 to date format in excel?

Just for info.

If you select the column of dates and DataText to ColumnsNextNextColumn
Data FormatDateYMD and Finish, you will get real dates.

i think you can open an excel file in 2003. once in 2003 excel click the cell
and go to format. then on the number tab find date. click ok. youre done

Another one...

A1 = 20091115

=--TEXT(A1,"0000\/00\/00")

Format as Date
