Excel Facts

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
How about this?

=DATEVALUE(MID(A1,5,2) &"/" &RIGHT(A1,2) &"/" & LEFT(A1,4))

HTH,

1. After selecting the cells containing your values choose the Data | Text to Columns... menu command.
2. Press [ Next > ] until you reach Step 3 of 3 where you'll click the 'Date' radio button and pick YMD from its drop down list.
3. Press [ Finish ].
