Default How do I change 2.8.03 to 2/8/03?

Hi Andrew

One way
Mark the column of dates.
DataText to ColumnsNextNextselect DatesDMYFinish
(I am assuming UK format of day month year. If US format, then choose
MDY)

I have a large Excel sheets with a list of dates. The problem is they
are
listed with periods separating the components. Is there a quicker way
to
convert them into the standard format with slashes than manually
entering
them myself?
