Default Formatting Dates in excel

Try DataText To Columns and tab through to the third section where you can
specify dates.

I have about 2000 rows (x4 in columns) of dates in 2 formats and they are
"0/00/00 and 00/00/0000". How can I quick fix this problem into just one
format for all like this way "00/00/00"? I tried using the formula and it
did not help at all and the other way was for me to use "format cells,
category-date, type-00/00/00". Then, after I have to manually go into
each
cell and double click it and that the only way it will format it. Please
help there must be an easier way to fix this problem.
