How to convert string to date
Hello,
I have a string in Col H that is like this: 20021002. I want it to show in Col I as 10/02/02, but I don't want it to be in date format, just text format. However, if I DID want it date format, can you also put what that would be as well? What do you suggest? TIA, Phil |
