You could format as ##-##-## but would not be a date, just a formatted number. For quick-entry dates and times see Chip Pearson's site for VBA methods. http://www.cpearson.com/excel/DateTimeEntry.htm Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Tue, 28 Feb 2006 11:36:25 -0800, "Cyrus" wrote: I want to type "121505" in a cell and it display 12-15-05.
