Let's say you have such a value in A1. You can use the following horrible formula:
=DATEVALUE(MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,FIND(" ",A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1)-FIND(" ",A1)-2)&"-"&LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1)&"-"&MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1)+1,FIND(" ",A1,FIND(" ",A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1)+1)-FIND(" ",A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1)-1))
Format the cell with the formula as mm/dd/yyyy or whichever format you prefer.
It's probably easier using PowerQuery.
