Convert Date Format of 7/29/04 to Date Format of 072904
 

Hi...I need to convert a data with a slash to a date without the slash and a preceding zero, if the date does not begin with 10, 11, or 12. I've successfully resolved this problem in 3 steps by converting the date to 29-Jul-04 and then writing a separate formula in 3 cells for =MONTH(A), etc., and then concatenating the string, but it still doesn't add the zero and this method is quite lengthy...is there a formatting option in Format Cells that I'm overlooking? Custom formatting doesn't work in this case either....I appreciate any help you have.
Thank you,
Petra
