Convert date (m/dd/yyyy) in text format into an excel recognised date
 
is there anyway to convert a TEXT field with a date into an excel
recognised date?

or the other way around - convert a date in excel into text output?

Bob Phillips[_4_]

Convert date (m/dd/yyyy) in text format into an excel recognised date
 
Try TextData To Columns, third page in the wizard.

The wizard is a nice dialog that you get when you click on the Data|Text to
columns option on the worksheet menubar in xl2003 menus.

I _think_ it's on the data tab of the ribbon somewhere in xl2007.
