Default Date format

Hi,

In my download file i am getting date as "cyymmdd". for e.g. April 5, 07 i
am getting 1070405.

Is there any way (custome format, macro, function) i can convert it to
yy-mm-dd format?

Default Date format

TD,

Assuming the date in "1"yymmdd format is in A1, and that you don't have to
deal with dates prior to 1/1/2000, try this formula in B1

=DATE(2000+MID(A1,2,2), MID(A1,4,2),RIGHT(A1,2))

Hope that helps.

Default Date format

This formula will return an actual date value for the cyymmdd format
including pre y2k. You can format it any way you like once you have
the value.

=IF(LEN(A1)=7,VALUE(CONCATENATE(MID(A1,4,2),"/",RIGHT(A1,2),"/",MID(A1,2,2))),VALUE(CONCATENATE(MID(A1,3,2), "/",RIGHT(A1,2),"/",LEFT(A1,2))))
