On the Home tab, click the Dialog Box Launcher next to Number. You can also press CTRL+1 to open the Format Cells dialog box. In the Category box, click Date or Time, and then choose the number format that is closest in style to the one you want to create.

1. Highlight all the dates
2. Right-click
3. Format cells
4. Under "Category" choose "Date"
5. Under "Type" choose which type you want

If the right type doesn't exist:

1. Choose "Custom" under category
2. In the "Type" field, type how you would like the date to display

For example, typing: dd-mm-yyyy
Will convert the date value to look like: 01-01-2023

For example, typing: dddd, d mmmm yyyy
Will convert the date value to look like: Sunday, 1 January 2023

And so on

I see, think I’ve had this before with a report produced from a HR system.

Can you upload the sheet via XL2BB and I can look at it

Hi please find attached.

XL2BB - Excel Range to BBCode

The above is how to download and use XL2BB, can you upload your sheet using the above then I can work on a copy

The comma in your original post and the fact that formatting doesn't change it indicates it is text.

Try one of these.

Another option, with vba:
This will remove the time part, and keep the date only.

Sub TO_DATE1()
Dim c As Range
For Each c In Range("H8:M8")
    If Len(c) > 7 Then c = CDate(Left(c, 8))
Next
Range("H8:BC8").NumberFormat = "dd-mm-yyyy"
End Sub
