excel - Regarding converting .CSV file dates -


i working in software. got out put .csv format file. need convert .csv file in excel 2007 , have use file. in have previous month date , current month date. example working may month means date 13/05/2013 standard format, in cells found format changed 3/5/2013 (05-mar-13) should 5/3/2013.

how change - formula or formatting?

instead of double-clicking on .csv file try data > external data - text, import , @ step 3 of 3 format date suit.

edit attempt @ clarification

i little confused op’s comment here (it not working when coupled green tick) , not quite sure whether dmy or mdy required output given source in columna, importing dmy gives columnb (after formatting) , mdy gives columnc (after formatting). both columns b , c in general format appear numbers (b5 41338 , c5 412397 – vice versa in row6).

if 1/4/13 april 1st , 1/5/13 5th january see no solution given data presently available. normal problem excel has default setting such 6/7/13 converts july 6th date supposed june 7th, because same setting can’t cope 10/21/13 (there no ‘month 21’). hence dates left strings, converted (incorrectly) , correctly (1/1, 2/2 etc no problem).
