Can I change 19840822 to read August 22, 1984 ??
Not just one time, but a whole column of 1000 names and birth dates.
 
Hi
try the following
- select your cells
- goto 'Data - Text to columns'
- in the wizard choose 'Date' as filed type and select the correct date
format
- finish the wizard

Prior to this make a backup of your data :-)
 
Hi Sillysamiam!

You can use:

=DATE(A1/10000,MID(A1,5,2),RIGHT(A1,2))

Or use Data > Text to Columns
