Dear Elton

Select the range of dates which needs to be corrected. From menu DataText
to Columns will populate the 'Convert Text to Columns Wizard' Hit NextNext
will take you to Step 3 of 3 of the Wizard. From Column Data format select
Date and select the date format in which your data is (DMY).Hit Finish.

MSExcel will now convert the dates to the default date format of your
computer. Now you can custom format to required date format..
