OK, here's a POSSIBLE solution:
Since the format of the source data does not match the current system date
format,Excel converts any source value that COULD be a date to an Excel date,
which is a number.
Any non-valid date is loaded as text.
So, we can either import the data as text and convert,or using what we have,
check to see if it is a number, and change the values accordingly.
If it is NOT a number, convert the text values to a date, like:
=IF(ISNUMBER(A2),
DATE("20"&DAY(A2),TEXT(YEAR(A2),"yy"),MONTH(A2)),
DATE("20"&RIGHT(A2,2),LEFT(A2,2),MID(A2,4,2)))
changing the cell format to yyyymmddwill result in values like:

Close.... but know. All dates in the "source" are actually in 2015. See my
dilemma ?

PSA.
Can someone please create a macro for me that would eliminate this frustrating
problem that I have with date converstion.
DATE1 = Source. It always gets imported in as 2 different date formats.
DATE2 is what I want returned in a YYYYMMDD format. I have manually change it
in this example.
Thanks.
