I have +10000 rows with cells with text data equal to this code: ="Feb 06" which you would copy and paste special with only values looking like Feb 06.

Now if you dubble klick on the cell it will format to 01/02/2006. Which I want it to look like so that I can sort them.

The problem is that I dont want to double kllick +10000 times. So how could I solve this issue?

RE: Formats

Highlight the whole column and click format > cells and then choose date/time which will give you a list of formats

Excel tip:

LARGE and SMALL functions and their uses

Two of Excel's most common functions are the MAX and MIN functions which will display the largest (MAX) or smallest (MIN) value in a series. What if you need the 2nd or 3rd largest or smallest values instead of the largest or smallest?

The =LARGE(array,n) returns the nth largest value of a series.

The =SMALL(array,n) function returns the nth smallest value of a series.

In both functions, 'n' represents the order of the number you want to display. For example, putting in 2 as n will give you the second highest number; putting in 3 as n will give you the third highest number.
