Question : Looking for Excel User Function not Text to Columns to Convert text values to date values.

Need Excel User Function to Convert Tuesday, June 08, 2010 3:16 PM to mm/dd/yy
These are coming from text files that I cannot change the format of the dates.

Here are sample values and what they need to become:
Tuesday, June 08, 2010 3:16 PM                6/08/10
 Friday, March 12, 2010 5:39 PM                 3/12/10
 Wednesday, April 14, 2010 2:01 PM          4/14/10
 Friday, May 14, 2010 12:03 PM                  5/14/10

I have already received an answer using Text to Columns, but a user function would be much better for the people and spreadsheets i am working with.

Answer : Looking for Excel User Function not Text to Columns to Convert text values to date values.

Assuming your date is in C11 enter in another cell:

=DATEVALUE(TRIM(LEFT(RIGHT(C11,LEN(C11)-FIND(",",C11)-1),FIND(":",RIGHT(C11,LEN(C11)-FIND(",",C11)-1))-3)))

This will convert it into a real date, which you can then format as you desire.
