Default Need advice date without slashes

My customer is providing a spreadsheet with dates. Most of the dates are in
the correct format that I need -- mm/dd/yy. However, some of the dates are
coming in without slashes, e.g., 111109.

I'm using VBA to format the spreadsheet, then will compare each row's date
with another date in another workbook. I need all the dates to be in the
mm/dd/yy format.

Formatting the cell does not work.

Should I loop through each date, use an "isdate" function to see if it's a
valid date, then if not, parse it and add the slashes?

Is there a better method?

Your help would be greatly appreciated!
