Excel question by ihatewindoze2002-11-11 07:26:28
  You could by hyzenthlay 2002-11-11 07:37:13
use text-to-column (under the Data menu) on your results.

Just tell it to use fixed width, take out any columns it puts in and format the column as a date in the final step.

I have to do that all the time with numbers from clients, they get input as text and I use text-to-column to turn them back into numbers.
