Depend on what you'd like to receive. If your system date format is dd-mm-yyyy, Excel shall convert correctly the string into datetime. If not, you'll have not transformed texts. If only date is needed or separately date and time, you may Data->Text to Columns it adjusting date format on the third step of the wizard.

 

And if csv is imported by Power Query all such transformations could be done with it.
