how do i enter a date quickly without using slashes or dashes?
 

i want to enter a date by only using number keys but i want the outcome to
have the slashes in it i.e. 060204 -- 06/02/04. just like if you enter a
currency like 602.04 it comes out like $602.04 and you don't have to add the
$ because of how the cell is formatted.
