I received some data with the dates in a yyyymmdd format. Although I can go
in and change this by splitting the data up with the text to column option,
then concatenate the rows with a "/" in between them, I was wondering if
anyone has put together a macro to do this a bit faster than it takes to go
through all of these other steps.

Thanks,

for each cell in selection
with cell
.value = datevalue(mid(.value,5,2) & "/" & Mid(.value,7,2) & "/" _
& mid(.value,1,4))
End with
Next

Hi

No need for code

You can use Data Text to columns
next
next
choose YMD
to A1

Then change the format in column A what you want

Never mind, I found out about the other text to column method where you
select the delimited option, then select the date format of ymd. It
automatically sets it to mm/dd/yyyy. :)
