Thanks. I tried that and the result is ######### all the way across the
fields no matter how much I shrink or stretch that column. "ILoveMyCorgi" wrote: I have data in columns A through P and in column C I have dates in the format YYYYMMDD and I need the format MMDDYYYY. I only have one worksheet in this file. Can anyone help me with this? susan |

When you say you have "dates in the format YYYYMMDD", do you mean you have *real* date values in cells that have been Cell Formatted to look like "YYYYMMDD", or do you mean you have "YYYYMMDD" looking text strings (that is, not *real* dates)? If you have *real* dates, then just use cell formatting to make them look like you want. If they are just text strings, then try this formula...

Thanks! That worked beautifully. I had actually real dates that were
extracted from a database and I needed to import the data into a database that will only accept the MMDDYYYY format. Thanks so much for helping me.
