Hi,
I supposed the 250420102356478 number was in A2, then to extract it as you want in B2 (for exemple), you should try with this formula :
=MID(LEFT(A2,8),1,2)&"/"&MID(LEFT(A2,8),3,2)&"/"&MID(LEFT(A2,8),5,4)
Best regards

If this number is in cell A1 you can use this formula
=DATE(MID(A1,5,4), MID(A1,3,2),LEFT(A1,2))
=DATE(MID(A1,5,4), MID(A1,3,2),LEFT(A1,2))

thanks, rizvisa1. it works great but i want to know the logic on which this formula identify the numerics as month, date and year. for example if series is 042520102356478
where 04(month)25(date)2010(year)
then how would this be??
Thanks...seekermay

ok
We are using date function. Date function needs three variable, year, month and day
so we extract those parts
Since year and month are in middle we use mid to extract them and left to extract day
mid(text, start position, number of characters to be extracted)
left(text, number of characters to be extracted)
so for year
MID(A1,5,4)
for month
MID(A1,3,2)
and for day
LEFT(A1,2)
hope it is clear now
