I have the below code that changes the range of cells. The cell contains a date in general format YYYYMMDD. And needs to end up in date format with MM/DD/YYYY. Is there a cleaner quicker way to do the below? I am just trying to reduce the line of code in my existing sub. Thanks in advance

VBA Code:
'Start Date
wsDSTN.Range("K2").Resize(rws).TextToColumns Destination:=Range("K2"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
        TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=True, _
        Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=False, FieldInfo _
        :=Array(1, 5), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True

'End Date
wsDSTN.Range("L2").Resize(rws).TextToColumns Destination:=Range("L2"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
        TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=True, _
        Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=False, FieldInfo _
        :=Array(1, 5), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True

'Due Date
wsDSTN.Range("M2").Resize(rws).TextToColumns Destination:=Range("M2"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
        TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=True, _
        Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=False, FieldInfo _
        :=Array(1, 5), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
wsDSTN.Range("K2:M2").Resize(rws).NumberFormat = "mm/dd/yyyy"
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Maybe...

VBA Code:
Dim i As Integer

For i = 11 To 13

wsDSTN.Cells(2, i).Resize(rws).TextToColumns Destination:=wsDSTN.Cells(2, i), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
        TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=False, _
        Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=False, FieldInfo _
        :=Array(1, 5), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True

Next i

wsDSTN.Range("K2:M2").Resize(rws).NumberFormat = "mm/dd/yyyy"
