So I need covert A into B, where A is Plain String and when I put a space after 10th character (after -24) it automatically converts into Date/Time Format and thats what I want but enter space in more than 10K records manually is not practically possible so I need some auto process, some formula....

Please help me guys

Regards

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
I might have over killed here but try this:
=DATE(YEAR(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(A1,10)&" "&RIGHT(A1,8),"-","/")),MONTH(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(A1,10)&" "&RIGHT(A1,8),"-","/")),DAY(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(A1,10)&" "&RIGHT(A1,8),"-","/")))+TIME(HOUR(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(A1,10)&" "&RIGHT(A1,8),"-","/")),MINUTE(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(A1,10)&" "&RIGHT(A1,8),"-","/")),SECOND(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(A1,10)&" "&RIGHT(A1,8),"-","/")))
