This formula did not work. I have a date of 20050609 for June 9, 2005 but
when I put in the formula it gave me this date: 8/31/2021

That is not a Julian date. You want

=DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MID(A1,5,2),RIGHT(A1,2))

Hi Jo Anna

With your value in A1, try
=DATE(--LEFT(A1,4),--MID(A1,5,2),--(RIGHT(A1,2)))

What you have is not a Julian date, that is why the formula on Chip's
site does not work
