    Mixture of date formats

    I have a spreadsheet with a date column.

    In that column, are dates which are both in dd/mm/yyyy and mm/dd/yyyy. Excel believes them all to be dd/mm/yyyy so I can't simply convert them all.

    I wonder, besides manually looking for and changing the US dates into UK dates, is there anything I can do?

    I have attached sample data - i've highlighted the incorrect dates in red for the first few. The only way I know they're wrong, is because they should generally be in chronological order, and also many of them are showing as future dates.

    "they should generally be in chronological order"
    in G3
    =IF(D3<D2,1,"")

    "and also many of them are showing as future dates."
    in H3
    =IF(D3>TODAY(),1,"")

    copy these formulas down the column

    Where there may be problems a 1 will appear in the column.
    Editing this manually shouldnt take you more than 15 minutes.
    You only have 600 and within a minute I'd worked down to the first one hundred.

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.
