There are only 28 days in February in 2006. You should get March 1 as
1/3/2006 using =DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MID(A1,5,2),(RIGHT(A1,2)))
1/3/2006 using =DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MID(A1,5,2),(RIGHT(A1,2)))

After you import the .csv file, you can select that field and use data|text to
columns.
You can specify ymd as the field type.

You can only make it TEXT to appear to be 29/02/2006.
=RIGHT(A1,2)&"/"&MID(A1,5,2)&"/"&LEFT(A1,4)
If turned into a DATE it becomes 3/1/3006 as there is no Feb 29th in
2006.....
=DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MID(A1,5,2),RIGHT(A1,2))

You can't because there's no such date as 29/02/2006 but if you have
real date e.g. 20060228 you can either...
..use Data > Text to Columns and at step three choose date option an
YMD.
or with a formula, assuming your "date" in A1
=DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MID(A1,5,2),RIGHT(A1,2)
