Default Date formatting from text

I have a rather large spreadsheet where someone has input the date as text
eg. 12th January 2004, and 2nd April 2001.

Is there a simple way that I can get this into a numerical format ie
12/01/2004 so can easily use it to calculate time periods along with other
date I have?

Thanks!
