Thank you. Try this:

Sub Convert2Date()
    Dim rng As Range
    Dim cel As Range
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    On Error Resume Next
    Set rng = Range(Range("D2"), Range("D" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
    rng.NumberFormat = "m/d/yyyy"
    For Each cel In rng
        cel.Value = CDate(cel.Value)
    Next cel
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
