convert 80521 to 05/21/08

[KKay]

Is there a formula that would convert 80521 to a date, 05/21/08?

Or convert a text of 080521 to a date format 05/21/08?

thx, k

=DATE(--LEFT(A1,1+(LEN(A1)=6),--MID(A1,3,2),--RIGHT(A1,2))

If all your dates will be on or after the year 2000, try this formula...

=--TEXT(A1,"2000-00-00")

You should be consistent, as well as keep the value in this century:

=DATE(2000+(--LEFT(A1,1+(LEN(A1)=6))),--MID(A1,2+(LEN(A1)=6),2),--RIGHT(A1,2))
