I am working on a huge Excel 2003 workbook with many worksheets. Initially
I
am downloading the data from another database into Excel. All the dates
(thousands of them) are written like Dec 3, 2007. I want to change them to
be
like 12/3/07 but I don't want to have to type it all in manually if I
don't
have to. If I go to format and go to date it seems you can select that
format
but it doesn't change what is already in the downloaded data. Is there a
simple way to do this? Thanks.
