    Hi, and welcome!

    You could try something like this?

    =TEXT(A1,"yyyy.mm.dd")
    Rule 1: Never merge cells
    Rule 2: See rule 1

    What are you getting when you use

    =TEXT(A1,"yyyy.mm.dd") ??

    Alternately, you could try this:

    =RIGHT(A1,4)&"."&MID(A1,4,2)&"."&LEFT(A1,2)

    As this is in the Access forum to format a date you can use exactly that "Format" - but I am unsure if you are using access or excel.
