Perhaps something like this:
For a date in A1 B1: =TEXT(A1,"mmddyy") You might also be able to just use a custom number format Select A1 <format<cells<number tab Category: Custom Type: mmddyy Click the [OK] button Is that something you can work with? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "Who I Am" wrote: I need a formula or a VBA code to extract a date into a string.

oops, double post This formula will give you mmddyy as text as long as excel recognizes it as a date regardless of format. Even if it's formatted as a number, general etc. |
