Worked greeat. Thank you.

If you have a whole column of this stuff, you can select that range
data|text to columns
fixed width (but erase any lines that excel guessed)
choose date (ymd or ydm -- difficult to guess with your sample)

And finish up the wizard.

Then you can format those dates anyway you want via:
format|Cells|Number tab.
