    With those 'odd' dates selected, press 'Text to columns' on the Data ribbon.

    Step 1, change nothing, press Next

    Step 2, change nothing, press Next

    Step 3, select Date and MDY to indicated that the source data contains dates in the mm/dd/yyyy format

    Now press Finish and the dates will now be in line with your local format settings.
