I have a spreadsheet that the data, the date was input in Excel 2003 as
mm/dd/yyyy (12/31/2004), how can I convert the column of cells format to
"dd:mm:yyyy"(31:12:2004)? I tried to change date
format from "Format Cells----choose "date" or "custom" and tried different
options, but they wouldnt change the data already in the cells. I have a
spreadsheet that Microsoft is requesting information in dd:mm:yyyy (yes
colons) format.

Thanks
