Seems like it should be easy but I am stuck.

Any easy way to convert mm/dd/yyyy format in column to yyyymmdd forma

some of the values in my database column for mm or dd have only 1 digit, and would need 0 fillers in order to comply with my final database need

Help

Thanks in advance

Click FORMAT > CELLS > Custom. In the text box in the
middle of the dialog box type yyyymmdd then click OK. In
that cell(s) if you type 1/20/2003 then hit enter 20030120
will be displayed.
