Default Would like an explanation of a formula:

=("1/1/"&(IF(LEFT(DQ10,4)*1<20,2000,1900)+LEFT(DQ10,4)))+ MOD(DQ10,1000)-1


The other day I needed a formula that would change a Julian date to a
calendar date, e.g., 2006031 to 01/31/06. I googled the question and found
the answer, for which I am grateful, in a formula provided by Joseph Rubins
Excel Tips. It worked like a charm and I was wondering if someone would take
the time to explain exactly how it works. Thanks
