Where do I get the slash sign for Excel?

I am trying to date the worksheets on an Excel workbook and I can't seem to
find the slash to separate dd/mm/yy
The slash works fine when within a cell, but not on tabs.
It usually is at the left of the number row, but not on mine. When I hit the
key, nothing happens.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

There are certain characters that won't work in the worksheet name. The / is
one of them.

Maybe you could use dd.mm.yy (or yyyy.mm.dd or yyyy_mm_dd)

Slashes--as well as colons, backslashes, questions marks, asterisks, and
brackets--are not allowed in worksheet names. Use another symbol, like a
hyphen.
