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

Am I missing something? It shouldn’t be that difficult.

Use the number format function to change the date format

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

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
