The following macro works for worksheet with approx. 20,000 rows, however when I use this on a workshhet with approx. 95,000 rows I receive runtime error 13 (type mismatch). Could this be written in a better way?...Any advise?

Sub Formatcorrectly()
Dim I As Object
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each I In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
I = I.Value
Next I
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Dim c As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each c In Range("AA2:AA" & Cells(Rows.Count, "AA").End(xlUp).Row)
c.Value = DateSerial(Left(c.Value, 4), Mid(c.Value, 5, 2), Right(c.Value, 2))
c.NumberFormat = "mm/dd/yyyy"
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Highlight Duplicates
Home, Conditional Formatting, Highlight Cells, Duplicate records, OK to add pink formatting to any duplicates in selected range.
Probably in column AA in a row there is a cell with letters or spaces so Left(c.Value, 4) returns "ABCD" that is not a valid number.
What I do is when I get the error I will click debug and point the cursor on c.Value to see what does it hold, what is the value of c.Value
You can avoid errors by checking contents of c.Value before applying to DateSerial
