    Question How to convert numeric dates into proper date format?

    I have a column of dates formatted as:

    20130201

    The cell format in the column is General.

    I need to change it so that the format looks like this:

    02/01/2013

    Is there a quick/easy way to do this in Excel 2010?

    Try this...
    =DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MID(A1,5,2),MID(A1,7,2))

    Format as required
