![]() I'm pretty sure this can be done but if I tried on my own, I'll probably fail or do a lot more than I need to... so here's my problem. In one column, I have data (about 10,000 rows or more) in terms of a date format, BUT it's not really the format I want. How do I go from: Original: 20060105 to New: 1/5/2006 I don't want to manually change each record because it'll be too long. I tried format cells and it didn't work. However, I noticed that if I put a "/" between the year, month, and day, like so: 2006/01/05, it automatically becomes 1/5/2006. Is there a small command/program that can insert a "/" after the 4th digit (year) and the 6th digit (month) so it can become 1/5/2006? Please help ASAP!!!! -- lakegoddess ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lakegoddess's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=18646 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=498746 |
