If the format is consistent, try the following (I'm sure there are multiple solutions)

=DATEVALUE(MID(a1,2,2)&"/"&MID(a1,5,2)&"/"&MID(a1,8,4))

Why not number format (or format cells > number) > Date > Type 5 or 6?

I think the leading single quote is going to be a problem

I think the quote is there because there’s a weird format that’s being used

I use the left, mid, right functions to create 3 new cells that can be combined

Thanks for the help... ended up being easier than I thought. I just did a search

For next time: ctrl + : inserts current date and formats the cell
