    Date downloads as a number instead of a time

    Hello All,

    I have a workbook where the date downloads from another system in column B2 as a number

    Date
    20180201
    20180201
    20180201

    I need the date to be in the form 01/02/2018.

    I have tried the Text to columns with Fixed width but it just returns 2018 which is incorrect and the B2+0 but it returns the same number.

    Your help and ideas to correct the format would be most appreciated.


    Regards,

    Chevy RV

    Have you tried Data>Text to columns... with Delimiter and selecting YMD (or YDM) for the column data format on the 3rd step?
