I have a spreadsheet with a column of 3500 numbers (in this format 20030129 or 19971112 for example) they are infact dates - I am struggling to format them as such. HELP!

Many thanks in advance

=DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MID(A1,5,2),RIGHT(A1,2))

should work as long as the format remains the same as your example
