Quick Date Recognition

Date > Quick date recognition

This tool quickly converts text entries into actual dates based on the selected date template. It allows you to specify the expected date format (for example, 'DD/MM/YYYY', 'MM-DD-YY', etc.) and applies this conversion to selected cells containing dates in text format.

This is useful for standardizing and correctly displaying dates that have been incorrectly imported or entered with various but consistent formats, making them suitable for calculations, sorting, and filtering in Excel (Calc).
