S Sean Mar 1, 2006 #3 I am sorry I did not make myself clear in the first post. My cell's formular is =CONCATENATE(MID(B3,6,2),"-",MID(B3,1,3),"-",MID(B3,10,2)), which is equal to 08-Mar-06, but it is a string. How can I make it to a date in the cell? Thanks.

S SteveG Mar 1, 2006 #4 Multiply your formula by 1. =CONCATENATE(MID(B3,6,2),"-",MID(B3,1,3),"-",MID(B3,10,2))*1 HTH Steve
