Hi Adam,
The only way I have been able to do this is by separating the input of the day, month and year data with hyphens ( - ) or backslashes ( / ) and changing the cell format thus: Format = Cells = Custom = Type dd mmmm yyyy.

=DATE(RIGHT(A1,2)+2000,LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-4),MID(A1,LEN(A1)-3,2))
But depending on what position you assume the month to be, you might have to switch 2nd and 3rd argument. It is now set op so that 60306 means 3rd of June 2006 -- Kind regards, Niek Otten "Adam" wrote in message ... i'M TRYING TO FORMAT DATA LIKE 10106 INTO DATE 1ST JAN 2006. nOT SURE HOW TO DO IT THANKS ADAM |
