I need to take a date (currently formatted as 07/25/2019) and make a new column into text with 8 characters. 07252019

Ideas?
 

Excel Facts

Wildcard in VLOOKUP
Use =VLOOKUP("Apple*" to find apple, Apple, or applesauce
Sort by date Sort by votes
You mean like?
Code: 
=TEXT(A1,"mmddyyyy")
(if your original date was in cell A1)

How about
=TEXT(A2,"ddmmyyyy")

How about
=TEXT(A2,"ddmmyyyy")
Click to expand...
I think you got the month and date flipped around (as there is no month 25!).

You're quite right, I automatically used the UK style.

Exactly! I knew it was easy, but couldn't remember. Thank you so much, a lifesaver!
