Date Format
I have a spreadsheet that contains a list of dates but they are formatted as
follows - 20100427. How would I go about converting those cells to a standard format - 04/27/2010? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. |

Use a formula such as this to convert it to a date
=DATE(LEFT(A1, 4), MID(A1, 5, 2), RIGHT(A1, 2)) you can then format the date however you wish using standard XL formats. -- HTH...

=--TEXT(A1,"0000\/00\/00") and format the cell accordingly.
