First, to convert them to numbers, do this...
In an empty cell, type a 1
Copy the 1
Highlight all the cells with the dates in them
Go to Edit>Paste Special and put a tick where it says "Multiply" Click OK
That will turn all the dates into the correct serial numbers.
Then, while the cells are still highlighted, go to Format>Cells Click on the
Number Tab Choose Date in the left column, then choose the date format you
want on the right.
Click OK.

Subject: [mso] Removing Apostrophe from start of date
I have a spreadsheet with dates that were entered as text (starting with an
apostrophe). The data was exported from Outlook to Excel. I need to convert
the text to dates. Please keep in mind that I do not know any Visual Basic.
Please HELP!! Thank you.
