Formatting only applies to numeric or date entries.
However, in order to make an entry of numerous date like you have shown, it would have to be a Text entry.
So, you cannot apply normal formatting to that kind of data.

You would have to use VBA to do something like that, if you insist on keeping all dates in a single cell.
If you want to pursue that option, please answer the following:
- Are there really random double-quote marks (") scattered throughout the data?
- Are the different dates entered into a single cell like that using soft-carriage returns?
- Do you want this VBA to run on existing data, or are you entering the data this way and want it to be corrected upon making an entry?
