I need to take a date (currently formatted as 07/25/2019) and make a new column into text with 8 characters. 07252019

Ideas?

You mean like?

How about
=TEXT(A2,"ddmmyyyy")
Click to expand...
I think you got the month and date flipped around (as there is no month 25!).

You're quite right, I automatically used the UK style.

Exactly! I knew it was easy, but couldn't remember. Thank you so much, a lifesaver!
