I've created a column of 500+ dates that all read "mm/dd". They are 2012 dates, but I'd like to change them all to 2010 dates. Any ideas?

If they're true dates, you should be able to just do a global replace (Replace All) changing 2012 to 2010

Do a Find...Replace changing 2012 for 2010.

I guess that's agreed then ...
And three answers all with the same time stamp within 5 minutes!
Try
=IF(A1> "2/28/2012"+0, A1-731, A1-730)
If you have a 2012 date of 02/29 it will become 02/28/2010
Does that work for you?
Edit: Making it more complicated than necessary as usual.

@ChemistB: overcomplicated, yes ... correct, also yes.
The solutions provided using a global change will work, or appear to work, for all dates. However, any dates for 29/02/2012 will change to 29/02/2010 and will be a text value, not a true date.
