As an example, I regularly receive data in a text/general formatted date like "FEB02/10." What is the formula to convert it to a usable Excel date? Thank you in advance.

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
