Hi Swapnil
=LEFT(C2,LEN(C2)-4)&"/"&MID(C2,LEN(C2)-3,2)&"/"&RIGHT(C2,2)
suppose the date is in cell "C2" then put following formula:-
Check it will work.... Subodh(Pune)

you can also try this formula
this will convert the text in Date format as per excel, which will be easy you use,
like if you want to write
10609
and you want to show it as
1-Jun-2009
this will remain in exact date format as per excel, which is easy to sort / filter later on if required.
suppose your 10609 is in A1
formula is
=DATEVALUE(LEFT(A1,1)&"/"&MID(A1,2,2)&"/"&RIGHT(A1,2))
it will be converted into Date Value
39995
now you can change date format to see date in any desired format.
Thanks
& Best Regards
