Wise people of the forum,
I am having issues when downloading my bank statement in the way it randomly sets the format for the dates. It appears to be no rhyme or reason. I am looking for a way to get it formatted back to a date allowing me to extract month / year instead of the - or /. Thanks in advance!

Below is a sample.
12/14/16
12/14/16
12/13/16
12/13/16
12-12-16

Excel Facts

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
Assuming your data starts in cells A1 you can use this formula:
=TEXT(A1,"MM/DD/YYYY")

It will convert everything to the same format.

Sincerely,
Max
