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. |

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) |

It's references will automatically change. |
