Macro
 

I am importing information from an AS400 to an Excel spreadsheet. The date
imports as 20080528. Is it possible to write a macro that will insert the
date markers (/) at set intervals?

I have never written a macro but do understand the theory behind them. Any
help would be appreciate.

If you are wanting to do this after the import, I would just use a
formula instead of a macro.
There are a few different ways to do this, but assuming 20080528 is in
E2.
=LEFT(E2,4) &"/" & MID(E2,5,2) & "/" & RIGHT(E2,2)

How do I apply this formula to convert the entire column?

Just drag the formula down as far as needed. It's references will
automatically change.
