Default International Date formatting

Hi,
I'm trying to add some days build a macro that adds days to a date
from an existing excel file.
However, the excel file may come from multiple sources and the way
they organize the date may come in different formats (dd/mm/yyyy or mm/
dd/yyyy). When I open the file in Excel (mine is configured to be mm/
dd/yyyy) it automatically assumes that format and the ones that do not
fit are changed to fit.

Is there a way for Excel to transform the date into its numerical
value before it changes the format independently of the format the
user used (and sometimes the date itself) so I can manipulate the
information?

Thanks in advance,

Daniel F. Uribe
