Default CONVERSION OF TEXT TO DATE

How can I convert list of dates which are in text format in a mixed manner into date format "dd-mm-yyyy"

example:

Col A Col B

01.04.2013 01-04-2013
2.5.2013 02-05-2013
11.6.13 11-06-2013
9.7.2013 09-07-2013
01.8.2013 01-08-2013

In "Col A" the list and what I expect is in "Col B"

Please help.

Regards.

01.8.2013 01-08-2013


try it with Text to columns. In step 3 choose Date "DMY"
and then format the dates as expected.

Try this: (Works with Excel 2010, should work with all others?)

Highlight the text that you want converted
select Find & replace, choose replace
Find "." and replace with "-"
in the replace with section, choose format
choose number with custom category
Under "type" enter mm-dd-yyyy Ok
then select replace all.
