Customer Excel Data Format

Hello,
The problem with the text to columns using a fixed type, is that the 1-9 dates do not have a zero before them so the fixed length is different.  While I was waiting for a response to this question I did a find/replace for space 1 space with a space 01 space, and did that through 9.  I then did a text to columns and this worked.  However, I need something more practical because I'm creating a template for someone to use and it needs to be somewhat simple.  The macro works great and converts the data to a format where excel recognizes it as a time stamp.  Thank you very much.

The suggested macro was recorded when I used the TextToColumns manual method. The wizard put the fixed field break after the third character, so you got a leading space before both single and double digit dates in the other field. The converter uses the rest of the data as the second field, so you don't need to specify its length. The converter also ignores the leading space when doing the conversion.

You're the man.  I never knew the rule about the leading space.  That would have saved me some time throughout the years that's for sure!  Thanks again.
