I have a macro that converts QIF files to a spreadsheet. I have a

Note that you may not need a macro at all: you could create an
additional column with a formula to evaluate a genuine date value
from the data in your text column. You could even hide the column of
original text values if you preferred.
One formula that might work is
=DATEVALUE(Xn)
but whether this will handle your DD.MM.YYYY may depend on your
locale setting. Otherwise, something such as
=DATE(RIGHT(Xn;4);MID(Xn;4;2);LEFT(Xn;2))
ought to work.
Alternatively, does this point you in the right direction to create a macro?
I trust this helps.
