Hi Adam,

The only way I have been able to do this is by separating the input of the
day, month and year data with hyphens ( - ) or backslashes ( / ) and changing
the cell format thus: Format => Cells => Custom => Type dd mmmm yyyy.

=DATE(RIGHT(A1,2)+2000,LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-4),MID(A1,LEN(A1)-3,2))

But depending on what position you assume the month to be, you might have to
switch 2nd and 3rd argument. It is now set op so that 60306 means 3rd of
June 2006
