Hi all,

However when i do it some of the dates remain in the current format.
Can you please support

In the cells that wont change there is a space before the date. Remove the space in those cells and it should work
1N73LL1G3NC3 15 7H3 4B1L17Y 70 4D4P7 70 CH4NG3 - 573PH3N H4WK1NG
You don't have to add Rep if I have helped you out (but it would be nice), but please mark the thread as SOLVED if your issue is resolved.

Dates are numbers
Your dates are a mixtures of numbers and text, ie some of your dates are not dates, e.g. A423
in B2
=A2+0
Copy column B to column A
Now format column A as you want.
Delete column B

Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.
Hi,
Also does not work, it worked for example CELL A2432 returns # value!
Both suggestions will work, however mine will take longer.
With Special-K's suggestion, copy and paste. Do not cut and paste. Also, when you paste, select paste values.

Another good pointA better solution would be a start date in A2 followed by =A2+1 copied down.
1. i can see no extra space. 2. =A2+0 does not work for all cells. This is a bit heavy handed, but does work:
=IF(ISERROR(A2+0),DATE(RIGHT(A2,4),LEFT(A2,FIND("/",A2)-1),MID(A2,FIND("/",A2)+1,2)),A2)

I'm not sure now that it was a space issue. I checked again by double clicking in the cells that didn't change, then hit enter or clicked in the next cell and it changed to the format OP wanted. Not sure why it would work that way.
I had a similar odd issue over the last few days where a formula worked perfectly here, but not on the Poster's PC. Excel can be a bit odd sometime... for something that is supposed to be logical. Maybe it's a she....
lol....another good point
try this also
=TEXT(A2,"mmmm")&" "&"-"&YEAR(A2)
