Hello, I am trying to run texttocolumns using VBA

Range("O4:O1500").Selection.TextToColumns _
Destination:=Range("O78"), _
DataType:=False, _
ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, _
Semicolon:=False, _
Comma:=False, _
Space:=False, _
Other:=False, _
FieldInfo:=Array(1, 4)

I would need this range to have the format date as " 25/1/2019" but can not change it by VBA, only on the excell sheet menu.
Data stays in the format : Februar 2019 4

Any idea?
Thank
Ronit
 

Excel Facts

Create a chart in one keystroke
Select the data and press Alt+F1 to insert a default chart. You can change the default chart to any chart type
I'm not sure this is the solution, but I've noticed that often the Locale setting for the Date format often get's mysteriously moved to a different country, which will give me a messed up date format.

Alternatively, the FieldInfo array should output a DMY format (#4) (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/excel.xlcolumndatatype); not sure why it's actually outputting MYD (Array(1, 6)). Actually, I'm not understanding the output; month and year I get, but how did it come up with 4 for the day from 25/1/2019?? Or, is that a typo?

Actually, a little trial showed that if I chose the TtoC date format that the date is actually in (25/1/2019 = DMY), then the output was into whatever my system default is or you can change the format to whatever you like.

So, whatever format the original data is in, choose that date format in the TtoC code/wizard.
