Hi Kaustubh,
Do as below: 1. Select all the cells for which you want to change the format 2. Go to Data->Text to Column. 3. Select Delimited and click Next. 4. Keep "Tab" Select and make sure nothing else is selected and Press Next. 5. In the Column Data Format select the format of date equivalent to your existing date format. As for your example, you should select Date->DMY and click finish. See you've done. Change the format of entire selection to dd-mmm-yyyy and verify your result.

But there is one problem. Suppose I have date 5.6.08 ( June 5, 08). If I replace . by / then I ll get 5/6/08 date format is mmddyy and my date will change and it will be May 6,08.
