In the attachment - I took a table that I brought from software into Excel
I downloaded all the unnecessary columns and left only the date
The date is written to me in a number - how do you turn it into a date structure ???
Thanks so much for the reply, Leah

You want column B to look like column A?
202104 only has the year and month in it?

Hi Lea,
So the number 202104 is what you want to convert to a date? I assume that represents April 2021 so there is no day specified, in which case I'll just ise the 1st of the month.
You can use this formula
=DATEVALUE(LEFT(TEXT(B2,"0"),4)&"/"&RIGHT(TEXT(B2,"0"),2)&"/01")
and set the cell to Date type - see attached.
regards
Phil

Just as an alternative formula:
=TEXT(B2,"0000-00""-01""")+0
then format as a Date.
