Default Excel 2002: How to make the date format uniform ?

Hello,

I imported some data from another businesss system, obviously the date
format was not correctly converted. At certain row of the cells it is
dd/mm/yyyy while at other rows it is mm/dd/yyyy.

If I use Format Cell Date dd/mm/yyyy to correct the format, it does nor
work.

I can only do it in a reversing manner by Format Cell Date mm/dd/yy, it
it quite puzzling. However I noticed that the entry in the formula bar is
still remain unchange of its orginal format of mm/dd/yyyy while in the cell
it displays as dd/mm/yyyy.

I am not certain if will be sorted as the usual date entry eith date value
appearing at the formula bar.

May I know if there is a formula to change the format correctly into date
value as follows:

Date
mm/dd/yyyy ---- dd/mm/yyyy
mm/dd/yyyy
dd/mm/yyyy ---- dd/mm/yyyy
dd/mm/yyyy


Thanks

Low
