hi, Keddy !

just... decide if the month part...
will be allways two digits (as per your previous example: 08/07 = Aug-10)
or could it be only one digit (as per example in this post: 8/07 #VALUE!) -???-

so you could change/adapt/... the "left" (function part) in proposed formulae
consider also *IF* the date-separator will be allways " / " -???-

if any doubts (or further information)... would you please comment ?
regards,
hector.

p.s. same to your "next" reply

hi (again), Keddy !

try with this changes:

op1: =text(20&right(a1,2)&"/"&left(a1,search("/",a1)-1)&"/01","mmm-yy")

op2: =date(20&right(a1,2),left(a1,search("/",a1)-1),1)
(cell format as date: mmm-yy)

hth,
hector.
