How do I change 2.8.03 to 2/8/03?
 

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?

If they are real dates (test one by =yourcell*1 in another cell) then just
highlight the cells and change the format.
formatcellsdate

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)
