I have a csv file exported into excel and it has produced a number value as a date (180110) and trying to get this to show as 18/01/10 but cant as it changes it to 13/02/2393. How do i get this to show?

Also there is a 0 missing off dates such as 01/01/08 which shows as 10108, how do i get this into the same format as above?

Cheers

Gary

Excel tip:

Quickly insert a function

In Excel 97 and 2000 it was known as the Paste Function dialog box, these days it's known as the Insert Function dialog box. Regardless, one has to choose Insert|Function. or the fx button to open it up. There is, however, a non-mousey way to get hold of the Insert Function dialog box: press Shift+F3 in a blank cell to open the Insert Function dialog.

Press Shift+F3 after a function name and open bracket to open the Function Arguments dialog. For example, type =VLOOKUP( into a cell and press Shift+F3 to obtain a detailed description of VLOOKUP's arguments.
