Select the cell and give it a custom format of mmddyy. Select Format Cells
on the Number tab, select Custom in the Type box, enter mmddyy OK.


Hope this helps,

I ALSO NEED TO CHANGE THE FORMAT INTO A TEXT CELL. WHEN I TRY TO DO THIS IT
GIVES ME A NUMBER THAT EXCEL RECOGINZES AS A SUM NUMBER (I THINK)

Try
=SUBSTITUTE(TEXT(A1,"dd/mm/yy"),"/","")


Why not just this instead...

=TEXT(A1,"ddmmyy")
