Thanks for the response! Actually I was hoping if it can be some simple steps to
reformat the strings into dates using openoffice's menu. As I have to instruct
others how to do it... thanks so much though!

Hi
I have a spreadsheet that has several columns of dates but entered as
text/strings (eg. '24/07/2005). How do I convert these strings to dates, so
that I can do sorting?
As you are not subscribed you may not have seen that:

Wrong formula...
=DATEVALUE(LEFT(B3;2)&"/"&MID(B3;4;2)&"/"&RIGHT(B3;4))
