Date issues

Hi,

So I have this excel with dates. Half of the dates are in MM-DD-YYYY format and the other half in MM/DD/YYYY.

Now here is the thing. I load this thing into QlikView and I get this:

Note that the second half of the data is now suddenly in DD-MM-YYYY instead of the original format MM/DD/YYYY.

Been playing around with date functions for sometime now and nothing seems to work.

How do I fix this and bring all the dates into a single format? I don't mind if its in DD-MM-YYYY or MM-DD-YYYY or anything, but I just need it in the same format.

Attaching the file.

Thanks,

Arjun
