Default Rearranging Data Within a Cell

I am transferring data from an AS400 into Excel. The date field comes into
Excel like this: 60501. This date is actually 05-01-06. Just like Excel,
the AS400 suppresses the leading 0 in the date. We cannot get the date data
to come into Excel any differently. I need to convert this number into a
date but don't know how. I don't know if you can create 1 formula to do
this or create multiple formula's to do it. The concatenate function allows
me to place a 0 in front of the 6. That gets me all the numbers needed for
a date, but now I need to swap the numbers around and separate into
mm/dd/yy. My ultimate goal is to calculate the number of workdays between 2
dates. I have over 2,000 rows of data and was hoping for an automated way
to do this every month. Are there any genius's out there that can help?
Thanks, Diane
