Default Change a date in text format xx.xx.20xx to a recognised date format


I often have to deal with a column of text in the format of xx.xx.19xx.
However this is not a recognised date format.

Is there a macro or command that will allow me to select all of thes
cells and convert them into a recognised date format, eg xx/xx/19xx o
xx-jan-19xx?

At present i can split them out to columns and then concatenate th
data into a date format but this only works the cell in Row 1,not fo
the whole selection. Any suggestions? Cheer
