Datatext to column, go to step three and select date and YMD
and for future posts it's considered rude just using the subject line Regards, Peo Sjoblom |

With the value 20010129 in cell A1, enter this formula in B1:
=DATEVALUE(MID(A1,5,2)&"/"&RIGHT(A1,2)&"/"&LEFT(A1,4)) and the format the cell as a date. The various functions parse the 20010129 string into its components, and the DATEVALUE converts that string to a datevalue that Excel can recognize. |
