I have cells with dates in the format below

<table width="200" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><colgroup><col width="200"></colgroup><tbody><tr height="17"> <td class="xl24" style="height:12.75pt;width:150pt" width="200" height="17">Wed Jun 01 09:23:11 PDT 2011</td> </tr></tbody></table>
I would like the convert the date to appear as 6/1/2011 instead of the format above. The cell above starts in cell G5 and continues down to G72. Similarly, I have two other columns from H5 and I5 with text based dates down to row 72 as well.

Thanks for any help regarding this matter.
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
If the format is consistent, try...

=(MID(G5,5,6)&", "&RIGHT(G5,4))+0

...and format the cell as "m/d/yyyy".
