Hello all,

I hope you can help with a problem we have in the office. We've got over
4,500 observations which are supposed to be in Date Format. Instead they are
in text format, e.g. "01.06.2005 08:26" or just "09.03.2005" but we need to
perform various duration calculations on them, so we need them in the Date
Format

I tried Format Cells-> Category = Date, but it doesn't work. It works
however when I enter the cell and then click "Enter". very strange

Please help if you have an idea how to do it...

Thank you very much
