Change text to date
Hi
Select the cells. Go menu Data Text to columns. Go "Next" until you're in the wizard's part 3, there select format Date, MDY (or DMY is that's what you have) and click Finish. HTH.

Hi. Assuming the text is in "A1", try this in "B1",
=RIGHT(A1,2)&"/"&MID(A1,3,2)&"/"&LEFT(A1,2). You end up with a date, but u may have to copy and paste it special to get rid of the formulas.
