If i have a column that contains a mix of '29/09/2012' format with 22-22-22 format (date and sort code) and i want to change all the date formats to sort code format (simply changing the / to -) how can i do this in a quick process?

Office 2010 user.
Find and replace does not work also.
Format the cells Number format > Custom
Type
Formula:![]()
dd-mm-yy
Or if you require a string returned
Formula:![]()
=IF(A2="","",TEXT(A2,"dd-mm-yy"))
Find and replace will not work because the displayed date is the serial date formatted "dd/mm/yy"
i.e.
29/09/2012 is actually 41181 so there are no "/"s to replace.
