Hi Safi,

With the alaphanumeric cells selected, try:

(1) Edit | Replace | What: . | With: / (period == backslash)

Alternatively,

(2) Data | Text to Columns | Delimited | Next | Next
Select the Date option | Finish

=TEXT(DATE(RIGHT(A1,4),MID(A1,4,2),LEFT(A1,2)),"dd-mmm-yyyy")

assuming input format is always dd.mm.yyyy
