Sure. Go to Format - Cells - Number and choose a date format.

Sorry but I have tried that it doesnot work, The column is imported
from an external source which I believe comes in a text format, I need a way to change the whole cell quickly!! Jon von der Heyden wrote: Sure. Go to Format - Cells - Number and choose a date format.

If there is no quick way to do it, does that mean you're not interested in a
solution? Are we getting to the stage that, not only does the advice have to be free and correct, it has to be quick? I see three solutions, but none of them may fit your definition of quickly: 1. Use DataText to columns 2. Use the formula =left(a1,16) to pick off only the date and hh:mm portion of your cell. 3. Convert the text to a date, then display it in whatever format you want. -- Regards, Fred wrote in message oups.com...

Choose Edit Replace Find ':?? EST' and leave replace blank.
