Assuming the date that you describe has been stored in the cell as a
date, and not just a string of digits you can do the following:

Select the cells that you want to reformat and choose

Format Cells Number Custom, and in the area marked _T_ype
enter dd/mm/yy

If the "dates" are currently stored as strings of digits, do the
following:

Select the column containing the dates and go

Data Text to Columns

Choose Fixed Width

Next Next

Choose Date, and from the drop-down menu pick DMY.

Then do the custom format that I described at top.
