If they're in one column...
Select the range
data|text to columns
choose fixed width and remove any lines that excel guessed
choose Date (ymd)
and plop it in the same range as where you picked it up.
And format those (now real) dates the way you want.
Or, a nice ONE liner
Sub ConvertStringToDateSAS()
Columns("C").TextToColumns Destination:=Range("E1"), _
DataType:=xlFixedWidth, FieldInfo:=Array(0, 3)
Columns("e").AutoFit
End Sub

Subject: $$Excel-Macros$$ Transpose (Arr) problem with Dates
First post guys!
I am trying to convert dates stored as text into proper formatted UK dates
DD/MM/YYYY. A sample spreadsheet is attached. The dates as text are copied
into a variant array, converted to a real date using DateSerial then copied to
a new range using the WorksheetFunction.Transpose. The dates look formatted
ok whilst viewing the locals in the RealDate array, but but when copied back to
the new range 05/04/2012 becomes 04/05/2012.
I want to avoid looping through each individual cell so grateful if someone
could provide a solution.
Many thanks
