Formatting Dates in excel

[Keoni2008]

I have about 2000 rows (x4 in columns) of dates in 2 formats and they are
"0/00/00 and 00/00/0000". How can I quick fix this problem into just one
format for all like this way "00/00/00"? I tried using the formula and it
did not help at all and the other way was for me to use "format cells,
category-date, type-00/00/00â€. Then, after I have to manually go into each
cell and double click it and that the only way it will format it. Please
help there must be an easier way to fix this problem.

If desired, send your file to my address below. I will only look if:
1. You send a copy of this message on an inserted sheet
2. You give me the newsgroup and the subject line
3. You send a clear explanation of what you want
4. You send before/after examples and expected results.

Keoni,
Once you format one of the cells and if you are happy, use format painter
for the rest. I should work.
