I used the convert text to colum wizard. It split the data into three columns
but I can't combine it to get 20/03/2009. I used =DATE(Year,month,Date) and I
get an error display not the date I am looking for.

Try the below

--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.
