Entering date data into Excel
How do you enter date into a cell with no slash or full stop and EXCEL converts it to the correct format, i.e. enter it as ddmmyy and it displays as dd/mm/yyyy. This is so easy in ACCESS so I can only assume I'm just missing something.

Sorry, I don't mean just the current date. I want to be able to key in for example 150614 and Excel converts this to 15/06/2014.
Hi,
To enter any date you have to do is
write this command
=DATE(1990,12,23)
must remember to start with equal to sign,
here 1990 is the year
12 is the month of year
and 23 is the day of month
it display result as 23-12-1990

Thanks for this. Attached is myfinal solution based on your sample formula. I needed to modify it a bit to handle the data entered as only 16 digits, i.e. 220314 not 22032014
