Date issues

[cstimart]

I have a Excel 2007 spreadsheet with a bunch of data, which Columns D and G contain about 4800 date in their columns.

The problem I have is that they are in the m/d/yyyy format and seem to be left justified. I want them to contain the leading zero and be right justified, so I formatted the cells for those columns to do just that.

However, the change only takes place if I select the cell, hit F2 and then return.

Any solutions?

Try selecting one column at a time, Data > Text to Columns, click Next twice, check Date and select MDY then click Finish.
