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.
