I've got a lot of data to enter an it's all in a format like 01-01-0, 04-05-4, etc... (stock locations). It would be a lot quicker if I could just type 01010 or 04054 and excel would put in the - for me. Is there a custom format that could help me achieve this?

Any help really appreciated.

Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Format the cells (Custom): 00-00-0
