Oddly, to do this you need to convert one column of text to one column of text.

Select the column containing your dates: mm/dd/yyyy

• Under Data, Select Text to Columns
• Select Fixed Width

• In column data format
• Drop down select mm/dd/yyyy (the source format)
• Select Destination
• Finish

The source data will transform to the date format of your system.
