Hi,

I am trying to Automate filling a Column with a correct format date when I download a sheet with dates in the Format 'YYYYMMDD'.

What I am trying to Do:
Insert Column, Insert Formula, Autofill to bottom of Data, Copy Results and Paste as Values, Convert to Excel Date Formatting. Delete Original Column. So Far this is almost working But I have a problem with AutoFilling the Entire Sheet.

Code:
Code:
Sub Dates2()
'
' Dates2 Macro
' 

'
    ' Date Formula
    Selection.EntireColumn.Insert , CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
    ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=DATE(LEFT(RC[1],4),MID(RC[1],5,2),RIGHT(RC[1],2))"
    ActiveCell.Select
    ' Autofill Section
    Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
    Selection.FillDown
    ' Good from here
    Selection.Copy
    ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
        :=False, Transpose:=False
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Selection.NumberFormat = "m/d/yyyy"
    ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Columns("A:A").EntireColumn.Select
    Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
    ActiveCell.Select
    Calculate
    End Sub

How can I change it so that only Cells with Values in them are converted, Without getting #VALUE to the end of the Sheet?
