Two possibles...

Just add a custom format. Right click the date and select Format Cells ->
Number tab -> Custom and change the format to ddmmyy

Or use the formula
=text(a1, "ddmmyy")
where your date is in A1.
 
S

Sheeloo

=TEXT("02/11/09","mmddyyyy")

If the date is in A1 then use this in any other cell
=Text(a1,"mmddyyyy")

No, Martin.
That page is about Julian dates, which wasn't what the OP asked for.
